Email Notifier Adapter example: Modifying the mail-notify.conf file

For an Email Notifier Adapter, the configuration file is mail-notify.conf:

Note:

Whenever you modify a configuration file, you need to stop and restart the notifier for the changes to take effect.

Using the sm_edit utility, open the configuration file:

BASEDIR/smarts/bin>./sm_edit conf/notifier/mail-notify.conf

If you are developing multiple customized notification adapters, rename the configuration file, giving the file a relevant name (for example, if you are going to customize the Email Notifier Adapter to send emails for all problems related to Routers, you could name the file mail-notify-Router.conf). The sm_edit utility automatically saves this file to the BASEDIR/smarts/local/conf/notifierdirectory.
Modify the file to change the name of the Domain Manager or Global Manager:
```
serverName = <YOUR_INCHARGE_MANAGER>
```
Define the hostname of the appropriate mail server:
```
MailServer = "localhost"
```
Definethe recipients for the notification email. Multiple email addresses should be separated by a comma:
```
Recipients = "root@localhost,recipient@your_company.com"
```
Define the email address of the sender. This address will display in the From field of the email message:
```
SenderId = "daemon@localhost"
```
Add the following lines to specify the ASL scripts that contain your customizations. The lines should be added to the end of the file below the initialEventDelay parameter:
```
filterRuleSet = "notifier/mail/mail-filter.asl"
customRuleSet ="notifier/mail/mail-custom.asl" 
```

Modify the SubscribesTo parameter to define the specific notifications for which you want email alerts sent.

For a Global Manager, you indicate which notifications generate

emails by defining a notification list in the Subscriptions section:

 SubscribesTo = 
         {
              #
              # NL subscription.
              #
              GA_NLSubscription::mail-Default-Subscriptions
              {
                       NLName = "Default"
              }
         }

Save the modified configuration file. The sm_edit utility automatically saves the file to the BASEDIR/smarts/local/conf/notifier directory.

Note:
Appendix B, Example Files, contains complete samples of the configuration file.
