Configure event notifications

About this task

To get notifications from Planning Analytics Administration for Planning Analytics Local, you must configure the following functionality:

Procedure

Set the following bootstrap properties for SMTP notifications:
For example, set these properties:
```
SMTP_EMAIL_PORT=587
SMTP_EMAIL_AUTH=true
SMTP_EMAIL_HOST=example.com
SMTP_EMAIL_USERNAME=user@example.com
SMTP_EMAIL_PASSWORD=Analytics123
PAA_EMAIL_ADDRESS=noreply@example.com
```
The PAA_EMAIL_ADDRESS must be a registered alias, otherwise set it to a primary alias, for example, the user name noreply@example.com.
Optional: Set SMTP_EMAIL_START_TLS_ENABLE=true and add the certificates to the TLS certificate store:
1. Run the following command in a command prompt on Windows or a terminal on Linux.
```
openssl s_client -showcerts -starttls smtp -crlf -connect example.com:587
```
  This command prints out the certificates used by the SMTP server. Each certificate begins with "-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----" and ends with "-----END CERTIFICATE-----".
2. Copy these two certificates (including the BEGIN CERTIFICATE and END CERTIFICATE lines) to Example_1.cer and Example_2.cer and remember the location.
  For example, <PA install directory>/paa_agent/wlp/usr/servers/kate-agent/resources/security. You use this location in the next step.
3. Import Example_1.cer to the Planning Analytics Administration agent store by using the following command and the location of the Example_1.cer file from step 2.b.
  On Windows:
```
keytool.exe -importcert -keystore "<PA install directory>/paa_agent/wlp/usr/servers/kate-agent/resources/security/server_store.p12" -storetype PKCS12 
-trustcacerts -storepass applix -file "<PA install directory>/paa_agent/wlp/usr/servers/kate-agent/resources/security/Example_1.cer" -alias example1
```
  On Linux:
```
./keytool -import -keystore "<PA install directory>/paa_agent/wlp/usr/servers/kate-agent/resources/security/server_store.p12" -storetype PKCS12 
-trustcacerts -storepass applix -file "<PA install directory>/paa_agent/wlp/usr/servers/kate-agent/resources/security/Example.cer" -alias example1
```
4. Repeat the previous step to import the second certificate, Example_2.cer.

What to do next

You can get notifications for threads that are in a run state, threads in a wait state, and more. For more information, see Set system resource thresholds and alerts in the Planning Analytics Workspace documentation.
