About Email Settings

You can configure PA to dispatch email notification when the following events occur:
• Reports are generated on schedule
• Performance of components cross the set threshold limits
• Performance of components drop below the set threshold limits for the first time
• Performance data collection fails
The settings that you specify for PA to dispatch the email notifications comprises of the following:
• Providing the source SMTP server IP address or host name and the port address
• Specifying the source email address for the alarms and reports notifications, and the data collection
failure notifications
• Specifying a separate destination email addresses for the alarms, reports, and the data collection
failure notifications
• Specifying a community name (Public or Private) for the SNMP server
• Specifying separate subject lines for the report email notifications, XP7 Alarms email notifications, and
the data collection failure notifications
• Specifying an appropriate title for the Good Information alarm email notifications
IMPORTANT:
• The Email Address is a mandatory field to generate alarms and reports. Provide a valid
destination email address that receives the email notifications when the alarms and reports are
generated, or the performance data collection fails. For example, test1@xyz.com You can also
provide multiple email addresses by inserting a semi colon between the email addresses, in the
following format test1@xyz.com;test2@xyz.com;test3@xyz.com. The total count of characters in
the Email Address field must be less than or equal to 512 characters.
• However, if you specify a new email address while configuring the alarms or creating the reports
in the respective screens, it is used only with the current set of alarm or report records for which
it is provided. The new email address does not supersede the existing email address provided
on the Email Settings screen.
• PA Monitor Settings does not support multiple email addresses. If multiple email addresses are
to be notified then you must provide an alias email address.
• The default values for the email settings are directly read from the
serverparameters.properties file and displayed in the respective fields on the Email
Settings screen. If you retain the default values, PA uses them for all the email notifications that
are dispatched to the intended recipients.
