If the filter contains multiple conditions, an alert must meet all of the conditions to be considered a match for
the filter.
Following the conditions, each rule contains an <Addresses> element that contains one or more <sendto>
subelements, each of which specifies a single email address, the type of message to send, and a delay time and
resend time. The delay time and resend time are optional.
n
type specifies the type of message to send, which is either email or sms. email sends the full alert message
and sms sends only header information. The address is the email address to which to send the notification.
n
resend sets the repeat interval for the notification. For example, if the resend interval is set to 60,
vCenter Operations Manager sends a notification to the address every hour for as long as the alert
condition is met.
n
delay is the interval between when an alert that meets the conditions of the filtering rule occurs and when
vCenter Operations Manager sends the first message to the address. For example, you might want to delay
the message if the recipient should be notified only if the condition is not corrected within a specified time
period.
For example, the following element sends a notification to the email address [e-mail].
<sendTo type="email" delay="120" resend="60">[e-mail]</sendTo>
