Make the standard notification profiles operational

This section describes the most basic procedure to make the standard alarm notification profiles operational.

Before you begin

If you want the notification profile List of email addresses or SNMP nodes assigned to an alarm. If the alarm is triggered, the email addresses and the SNMP nodes receive a notification. to send e-mails to employees, configure the system to work with an SMTP Email server. Perform this configuration by completing the SMTP Settings on the System Management Module that allows performing suite-wide system management activities from a single, Web-based application, the Enterprise Manager. > Enterprise > Enterprise Settings tab.
If you want the notification profile to send SNMP traps to the network management system, obtain and configure the Management Information Base (MIB) files.

Procedure

Add SNMP nodes to the system:
1. Click System Monitoring > System Monitor > Global Alarm Settings.
2. In the SNMP Node Settings section, add every SNMP node that must receive an SNMP trap when an alarm is triggered.
Add employees and SNMP nodes to five standard notification profiles (All Alarms, Critical, Information, Major, and Minor). For example:
1. Click System Monitoring > System Monitor > Notification Profiles.
2. In the left pane, select the Enterprise node.
3. Select the All Alarms profile, and click Edit.
4. In the E-Mail Address section, select an Organization, and then move the employees you want to be part of this notification profile into the Selected Employees section.
  
  For example, in the All Alarms profile, move the employees who must be notified of every alarm that is triggered into the Selected Employees section.
5. In the SNMP Nodes section, move the SNMP nodes that you want to be part of this notification profile into the Assigned SNMP nodes section.
  
  For example, in the All Alarms profile, move the SNMP nodes that must receive traps when every alarm is triggered into the Assigned SNMP nodes section.
6. Click Save And Apply to Children.
7. Repeat steps b. through f. above for each remaining standard notification profile (Critical, Information, Major, Minor).
  
  For example, in the Critical notification profile, specify all employees and SNMP nodes to be notified if an alarm of the Major priority is triggered. In the Major profile, specify all Employees and SNMP nodes to be notified if an alarm of the Minor priority is triggered, and so on.
  
  In step 2, it is not mandatory to add employees and SNMP nodes to every standard notification profile. For example, some enterprises may want notifications to be sent only for alarms of the Major and Minor priorities. In this case, it is only necessary to add employees or SNMP nodes to the Critical and Major notification profiles.
Enable E-mail notification and SNMP notification.
1. Click System Monitoring > System Monitor > Global Alarm Settings
2. Select Email Notification.
3. Select SNMP Notification.
4. Click Save.

Once you understand how to make the standard notification profiles operational, you can vary from the procedure described above to customize the configuration for your enterprise. For example, you can create your own custom notification profiles, edit existing notification profiles at different nodes of the Installations tree, and so on.
