Comment: updated information about syslog notifications

...

Notification syntax

There are 4 6 types of notifications that can be added. email: syslog, json, email, ccopy, pager and netsend.

syslog sends a syslog message to the given syslog server (using the default syslog port 514 and protocol UDP). json saves a dump of the event in JSON format in a new file in /usr/local/nmis8/logs/json.

email and ccopy (Carbon Copy) are almost identical: both send emails to the contact's address, but ccopy has a fixed mail priority of "Normal" and the mail message is slightly different.

Code Block
netsend:WKS1:WKS2,email:Contact1,syslog:otherbox.somewhere.com

In this example the notifications of type netsend will go to destinations WKS1 and WKS2, while email notifications will be sent only to Contact1's email address(es). Finally, a syslog message of the event would also be sent to otherbox.somewhere.com.

UpNotify
  • When UpNotify is "true", for any "down" message which is sent an UP notification will be sent when the node or element comes up, then lets you know the event is "resolved".
  • When set to "false", no notification will be sent when the node or element comes up.
