Notifications are sent via a notification method, an email or pager address associated with a
specific RHN user. Although the address is tied to a particular user account, it may serve
multiple administrators through an alias or mailing list. Each user account can contain multiple
notification methods. To create a notification method:
1. Log into the RHN website as either an Satellite Administrator or Monitoring Administrator.
2. Navigate to the User Details # Notification Methods tab and click create new method.
3. Enter an intuitive, descriptive label for the method name, such as
DBA day email
, and
provide the correct email or pager address. Remember, the labels for all notification methods
are available in a single list during probe creation, so they should be unique to your
organization.
4. Select the checkbox if you desire abbreviated messages to be sent to the pager. This shorter
format contains only the probe state, system hostname, probe name, time of message, and
Send ID. The standard, longer format displays additional message headers, system and
probe details, and instructions for response.
5. When finished, click Create Method. The new method shows up in the User Details #
Notification Methods tab and the Notification page under the top Monitoring category.
Click its name to edit or delete it.
6. While adding probes, select the Probe Notifications checkbox and select the new
notification method from the resulting dropdown menu. Notification methods assigned to
probes cannot be deleted until they are dis-associated from the probe.
4.2. Receiving Notifications
If you create notification methods and associate them with probes, you must be prepared to
receive them. These notifications come in the form of brief text messages sent to either email or
pager addresses. Here is an example of an email notification:
