Hello..
I have a suite of peripherals that currently alert via a simple SMTP mail method. So basically, when a condition occurs on these peripherals, an SMPT mail alert is sent to relevant parties. The email will contain the severity and a description of the event. but in pure email text form.
What I am looking to do is to capture these emails within dataminer and present them as individual alrms on the alarm console.
Is there any examples of how to approach this anywhere? Any similar use cases I could refer to?
Many thanks
My first thought on this (which you've probably considered) was why not bring all these peripherals into DataMiner to monitor and in one swoop have your monitoring, alarming and notifications out of the box.
In lieu of that, how do you make DataMiner aware of this event is then the essential question.
All the options depend on how flexible your current setup is. One option; right before sending the mail or after, send an SNMP trap message to DataMiner. With the Generic Trap receiver you then have the event in Dataminer where you can then alarm, correlate etc.
There are other ways to make DataMiner aware of the event but this seems to me the quickest...Hope it helps.
There isn't much available for this as there isn't a built in mechanism to listen for emails. There are a few options to do this but would require some development and design. Who would host your mail server? Normally they offer ways to integrate…
