E-mail Notification Configuration

[sparkjohn]

Hello,

In my grid "summary_interval" parameter value was set to "0" and as a result i was not getting any email notifications. I set the value to 1, but still not getting any notifications. Do the grid need a reboot to activate the new setting?


Regards

John,

Help is on the way. I believe the interval was to be specified in seconds. Please stand by for the full answer.

The value specified for summary_interval is specified in minutes with a 5 minute resolution - a value of 0 disables the summary notification feature. You will only receive an email if there has been a message that has changed within the past 5 minutes and that message's severity is less than that specified in the asap_severity configuration parameter (default is alert). This prevents the grid from sending summary notifications describing messages for which an email notification has already been sent.

In addition to setting the summary_interval, you must also make sure that the following configuration parameters are set to valid values: smtp_srv and to_email.

I hope this helps.

Hi Peter or Becky the second question Does the grid need a reboot to activate the new setting?
I guess the documentation didnt specify what option you need to select the default is off please advise

Were you able to apply the changes successfully?

The changes take effect immediately, there is no need to reboot the controller. You can try the following CLI command to verify whether the settings work:
message create 123TEST severity=alert text="This is a test dashboard message."

You should see the message on the dashboard and, if you have configured it successfully, an e-mail containing the same information.

Best regards,
