3.1.2 Matrix Server Administration Guide

Chapter 14: Configure Notifiers 192

When adding a notifier, you will need to specify a name for the notifier

and to supply the script to be run when an event is triggered that matches

the event and entity combination. An event causes the script, which has

its standard input wired to a pipe from the notifier_agent, to be run. The

notifier script will be run with any arguments that you included in the

script string. The script may read STDIN to accept the event message.

Add or Modify a Notifier

Select the Notifier tab on the Management Console to display the

Notifiers window and then choose the appropriate option:

• To add a new notifier, select Matrix > Notifier > Add Notifier (or click

the Notifier icon on the toolbar) and then configure the notifier on the

New Notifier window.

• To modify an existing notifier, select that notifier from the Notifiers

window, right-click, and select Properties. Then make your changes

on the Notifier Properties window.
