E-mail Notification Actions

You can set e-mail notifications for specific events in the Edit Action dialog box (see Figure 17). First, set the

event filter to specify the event trigger. Then, set the e-mail notification criteria.

Events Filter

You can filter the action according to the following:

Event criticalities: Critical, Warning, Normal, and Communication Lost

NOTE With this parameter, you can filter the notification according to the event level (see

“Node Events List” on page 61). If you select “Critical” as the filter, you will not

receive the associated “Normal” event informing that the device status changes

from “Critical” to “Normal.”

Event category: All Events, Alarms, Shutdown events, Power events, and Measures

NOTE The pen icon allows you to select and edit the event category.

View: The view that triggers the event

e-mail Criteria

To receive e-mail on UPS events:

You must indicate the SMTP server address and recipient e-mail address. Both logins and passwords are

used when the SMTP server requests authentication.

For advanced use:

Optional: You can customize the subject, such as when you use a third-party service provider to translate

e-mail into SMS.

Optional: You can specify that you want to receive a consolidation of the alarms that occurred during a delay

time duration. For example, if you specify none, each alarm generates an e-mail. With this setting, you will

receive more e-mail for the same number of events

Execute Script/Program Actions

In order to execute a program on UPS events, the program path is required.

NOTE The program is executed under the SYSTEM account.

If an action (script or program) cannot be executed under the SYSTEM account, it is necessary to modify the

execution context before it can be run.

To allow a user to run specific tools and programs with permissions that are different from those assigned to

the user's account, use the Windows “RunAs” command. This allows you to save the password (Windows

XP Service Pac 2 and more recent versions).

Use the following Microsoft command:

runas /profile /user:<windows_ login> /savecred <my_program.exe>

When first executed, a password is required; it is saved for subsequent executions.
