Configuring email notifications for alarms (legacy system)

In order to receive email notifications for the legacy alarm system, recipients must be a member of a mailing list and that list must be added to the Notifications page. Notifications are configured to send email to recipients only when an alarm with a specified severity level is triggered or when a service state changes. Thus, recipients only receive the notifications they need to receive.

Before you begin

You must be signed in to the Grid Manager using a supported browser.
You must have specific access permissions.
You must have configured an email list.

About this task

Use these settings to configure notifications for legacy alarms. These settings are not used for alert notifications.

If an email address (or list) belongs to multiple mailing lists, only one email notification is sent when a notification triggering event occurs. For example, one group of administrators within your organization can be configured to receive notifications for all alarms regardless of severity. Another group might only require notifications for alarms with a severity of critical. You can belong to both lists. If a critical alarm is triggered, you receive only one notification.

Procedure

Select Support. Then, in the Alarms (legacy) section of the menu, select Email Setup.
From the Email menu, select Notifications.
Click Edit (or Insert if this is not the first notification).
Under E-mail List, select the mailing list.
Select one or more alarm severity levels and service states.
Click Apply Changes.
Notifications will be sent to the mailing list when alarms with the selected alarm severity level or service state are triggered or changed.
