Setting up email notifications for alerts
If you want email notifications to be sent when alerts occur, you must use the BMC interface to
configure SMTP settings, users, LAN destinations, alert policies, and event filters.
Before you begin
You know how to access the BMC dashboard.
About this task
In the BMC interface, you use the SMTP Settings, User Management, and Platform Event
Filters options on the Settings page to configure email notifications.
Steps
1. Configure the SMTP settings.
a. Select Settings > SMTP Settings.
b. For Sender Email ID, enter a valid email address.
This email address is provided as the From address when the BMC sends email.
2. Set up users to receive alerts.
a. From the BMC dashboard, select Settings > User Management.
b. Add at least one user to receive alert notifications.
The email address you configure for a user is the address the BMC sends alert notifications
to. For example, you could add a generic user, such as "notification-user," and use the email
address of a technical support team email distribution list.
3. Configure the LAN destination for alerts.
a. Select Settings > Platform Event Filters > LAN Destinations.
b. Configure at least one LAN destination.
•
Select Email as the Destination Type.
•
For BMC Username, select a user name that you added earlier.
•
If you added multiple users and want all of them to receive notification emails, you
must add a LAN Destination for each user.
c. Send a test alert.
4. Configure alert policies so you can define when and where the BMC sends alerts.
a. Select Settings > Platform Event Filters > Alert Policies.
b. Configure at least one alert policy for each LAN destination.
