NCast Presentation Recorder Reference Manual
Event are categorized by their severity level (Info, Warning, Error and Critical), and by their specific
action or type (e.g. Session start, Recording start, etc.). Events can be system-wide (e-mails are sent to
the system administrator) or Channel specific (a subset of events is associated with a single Channel
and sent to an e-mail address associated with that Channel).
System-wide events are configured in the
Configuration → Notifications → Select Events
menu, and
Channel related events are configured in the
Edit Channel → Notifications → Select Events
menu
(see Section 4.11.). The rules controlling event reporting are the same in both cases, except for the
System or Channel orientation of the activity.
In summary, there is a comprehensive e-mail notification system in place to inform the administrator that
“The disk is full!” or the Channel owner that “Your recording is ready” and many other notices.
