Event notifications

When an event occurs, you can have the system send an email or run an external command. Email can be aggregated whereas commands cannot.

  • To specify an email, you must specify a notification type (-notifyType email), a destination (-dst), a message (-msg), and optionally, a body text (-bodyText).

    You can specify multiple email addresses that are separated by a comma and no space. For example, jdoe@company.com,jsmith@company.com,sbrown@company.com

  • To specify that you want to run a command, you must specify a notification type (-notifyType runCmd), a destination (-dst), a message (-msg), and optionally, a body text (-bodyText).
When you are defining notification fields that are strings (-dst, -ccDst, -msg, -bodyText), you can use $tag syntax to substitute known system or event values. Table 1 lists the system-defined tags that are available.
