Mailing lists let you notify recipients when an alarm is triggered or when a service state changes. You must create at least one mailing list before any alarm email notifications can be sent. To send a notification to a single recipient, create a mailing list with one email address.
Before you begin
- You must be signed in to the Grid Manager using a supported browser.
- You must have specific access permissions.
- If you want to specify an email template for the mailing list (custom header, footer, and subject line), you must have already created the template.
About this task
Use these settings to define the mailing lists used for alarm email notifications. These settings are not used for alert notifications.
Steps
- Select Alarms. Then, in the Alarms section of the menu, select Email Setup.
- From the Email menu, select Lists.
- Click Edit
(or Insert
if this is not the first mailing list).
- In the new row, add the following:
Item |
Description |
Group Name |
Unique name used to identify the mailing list. Mailing list names cannot be duplicated.
Note: If you change the name of a mailing list, the change is not propagated to the other locations that use the mailing list name. You must manually update all configured notifications to use the new mailing
list name.
|
Recipients |
Single email address, a previously configured mailing list, or a comma-delineated list of email addresses and mailing lists to which notifications will be sent. Note: If an email address belongs to multiple mailing lists, only one email notification is sent when a notification triggering event occurs.
|
Template |
Optionally, select an email template to add a unique header, footer, and subject line to notifications sent to all recipients of this mailing list. |
- Click Apply Changes.
A new mailing list is created.
