How and where do we change the “from” email address for outgoing mails from DataMiner?
Hi Thijs
Here is a video explaining the process
http://dataminer.tv/categories/dataminer-agent/configuring-an-email-server
- If a <From> tag is specified in the DataMiner.xml SMTP settings (see DataMiner Help), this value is used
- Otherwise, the “Email” address from the System Center > Agents > System > System Info is used
- Otherwise, “notifications@example.com” is used
If we go for your second option, described here https://help.dataminer.services/dataminer/DataMinerUserGuide/part_3/DataminerAgents/General_DMA_configuration.htm?rhhlterm=DefaultFromaddress&rhsyns=#XREF_66600_Configuring, do we need to restart the DMA?
So when the tag is not configured in the DataMiner.xml, the System Info “Email” is used. Does this then require a DataMiner restart in order to be updated/applied?
What happens when we have multiple agents in the DMS?
Do we need to configure all DataMiner.xml and restart all agents? In case we use the “Email” field from the DataMiner System Info, I guess this then applies to all agents in 1 go? (With or without restart?)
The information from system info is synchronized across the cluster, although I do believe a DataMiner restart is needed to pick this up.
Note that via SLNetClientTest, it is possible to send an UpdateSmtpConfigMessage to update the settings in DataMiner.xml. No restart should be needed when you use this method. The message updates the config for one agent only (as far as I remember).
Thanks! This is exactly what I was looking for!
