To configure HP SIM to send e-mail notifications through automatic event handling:

  1. Access the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) host and CMS e-mail settings through the First Time Wizard or choose Options->Events->Automatic Event Handling->Email Settings. The Email Settings page appears.

  2. Enter the SMTP host name. The SMTP host is the outgoing e-mail server that the CMS uses to send e-mail notifications.

  3. In the Sender's e-mail address box, enter the e-mail address that the management server uses when sending e-mail notifications.

  4. To authenticate your SMTP server, select Server Requires Authentication.

  5. Enter the account user name and password in the corresponding boxes.

  6. Note If you did not enter a valid Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) host, HP SIM notifies you that it cannot send e-mail notifications. If you do not want to enter e-mail settings now, click OK, or to enter a valid SMTP host, click Cancel.

    If you are changing the e-mail settings from the Options->Events->Automatic Event Handling->Email Settings page, click OK to save changes.

NOTE: If the Server Requires Authentication option is selected, and you enter incorrect account information, e-mail event notifications do not reach the intended recipients.

Additional e-mail settings

The globalsettings.props contains properties that can be set for additional information to be included in email messages.

EmailPrefixUserSubject

To have user defined information (from the e-mail information on the Actions page) displayed first on the subject line of an e-mail, you must change the EmailPrefixUserSubject property in the globalsettings.props file to True. Otherwise, HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) defined information is displayed first. The globalsettings.props file is located at:

  • On Windows. It is typically located at C:\Program Files\HP\Systems Insight Manager\config\globalsettings.props.

  • On HP-UX and Linux. It is located at /etc/opt/mx/config/globalsettings.props.

The HP SIM service should be restarted after the flag is set. To restart:

  • If EmailPrefixUserSubject = false. The format of the subject line is Device Name: Short Description from Alert: User's Defined Subject.

  • If EmailPrefixUserSubject = true. The format of the e-mail subject line is User's Defined Subject: Device Name: Short Description from Alert.

IMPORTANT: This property does not need to be configured for the e-mail feature to work. This property is automatically set to false in the globalsettings.props file and does not need to be changed unless you want user defined text to appear before the HP SIM text in the subject line.

EmailKeywords

To include event information in an e-mail message, edit the EmailKeywords property in the globalsettings.props file.

NOTE: The HP SIM service must be restarted if any of the keywords change.

Keywords supported in the EmailKeywords property:
