Hello again!
Guys, please bear with me as i still need to learn and i get confused. I followed some guides on how to configure the email server and i am not trying to send alarms.
I am using an internal email server so i only added the IP address, port and nologinmethod. I restarted the app, reconected the Cube app and the interface loaded up. Until here, it seems ok.
Then i tried to configure the alarm notifications from System Center -> Users / Groups ->MyUser -> Alerts -> Filters / Delivery.
Filter was created and i applied to be used with Email.
The second way was to actually create an alarm of a specific type. Then, from Active Alarms i right clicked -> Actions -> Alert me. This was the second filter created to be used with Email.
Now, i have both alarms up but no actual e-mail notification. The questions:
- Where should I define where emails are sent ?
- How can i test if the emails are going out from my DMA and are accepted/rejected by my email server?
Thanks!
- You can configure outgoing emails here : Configuring outgoing email | DataMiner Docs.
- You can test the connectivity between your DMA and mail server by pings, telnet etc. or use a wireshark capture perhaps ? Are there any firewall rules that might need to be added and is the port open ? You can check the file "C:\Skyline DataMiner\Logging\SLWatchdog2.txt". It usually has info regarding sending of emails. For example, this is what my file says (I do not have any mail servers configured)
