Filtering Notifications; Deleting Notification Methods - Red Hat NETWORK 4.1.0 Reference Manual

172
Note
You can halt or redirect almost all probe notifications by replying to a notification emails
with a variation of the command
probe notifications by responding to a probe with
responses. These probes require you to change the notifications within the web interface
of the Satellite.
7.4.4. Filtering Notifications
Since notifications can be generated whenever a probe changes state, simple changes in
your network can result in a flood of notifications. The creation, cancellation, and applica-
tion of Notification filters is discussed in detail in Section 6.9.2.1 Notification ⇒ Filters.
7.4.5. Deleting Notification Methods
Theoretically, removing notification methods should be as easy as creating them. After all,
you must populate no fields to conduct the deletion and a button exists for this explicit
purpose. However, existing relationships between methods and probes can complicate this
process. Follow these steps to remove a notification method:
1. Log into the RHN website as an Organization Administrator or Monitoring Admin-
istrator.
2. Navigate to the Monitoring ⇒ Notifications page and click the name of the method
to be removed.
3. On the User Details ⇒ Notification Methods tab, click delete method. If the
method is not associated with any probes, you are presented with a confirmation
page. Click Confirm Deletion. The notification method is removed.
Tip
Since both the notification method name and address can be edited, consider up-
dating the method rather than deleting it. This redirects notifications from all probes
using the method without having to edit each probe and create a new notification
method.
4. If the method is associated with one or more probes, you are presented with a list of
the probes using the method and the systems to which the probes are attached instead
of a confirmation page. Click the probe name to go directly to the System Details
⇒ Probes tab.
