Job notifications inform NetMRI administrators when a job they've created completes execution, requires approval, or gets approved by their administrator. NetMRI generates notifications for both successful job executions and for job failure issues.
To define a Job notification, do the following:

  1. Click the Settings icon > Notifications > Subscriptions to begin creating notifications.
  2. Click Add Notification.
  3. In the Category drop-down menu, choose Job.
  4. Choose the Job Status: All, Requiring Approval, Approved, or Completed.
  5. Choose one or more Device Groups that will trigger notifications of the specified issues.
  6. Choose the Method by which admins will receive Job notifications: Email, SNMP Trap, or Syslog.
    • For Email: select the To Users to receive the notification. (Administrators can send notifications to anyone.
      Non-administrative users can send notifications only to themselves.)

    • Specify additional To email address(es) if needed. Separate multiple e-mail addresses by commas.
      Email notifications require the correct SMTP servers to be configured in the appliance to support sending the notifications to their destinations. See the Setting Notification Defaults topic for more information.

    • If necessary, click Edit Schedule to specify a schedule for the summary e-mail notification, or deactivate the Summarize checkbox to receive all notifications for each individual system alert.
      The Summarize checkbox sends a digest email of the system alerts for the selected category, providing a way to reduce email quantities sent to administrators' inboxes.

    • To manage notification email settings in more detail: click the Advanced Settings button to override default settings for sender information, message type, message subject, message content, and details. See Notification Content and Formatting for information about placeholder variables.
      If you select PlainText as the message body, the HTML formatting is erased in the notification email.

    • For SNMP Trap: override the default Server(s) by entering a new IP address.

    • For Syslog: If necessary, override the default Server(s) and Message. See the Notification Content and Formatting topic for information about placeholder variables.

  7. Click Save.
