HP XP Performance Advisor Software - Manual (Page 74)

IMPORTANT:
•
The new email notification settings that you provide are automatically updated in the
serverparameters.properties
file. Hence, a manual reboot of the HP XP7 Performance
Advisor management station is not required.
•
The Email Address is a mandatory field. Provide a valid destination email address that receives
the email notifications when the alarms and reports are generated, or the performance data
collection fails. For example, [email protected]
You can also provide multiple email addresses by inserting a semi colon between the email
addresses, in the following format [email protected];[email protected];[email protected]
The total count of characters in the Email Address field must be less than or equal to 512
characters.
•
The Report Name is a mandatory field, where you must provide a valid report name.
•
The default values for the email settings are directly read from the
serverparameters.properties
file and displayed in the respective fields on the Email
Settings screen. If you retain the default values, HP XP7 Performance Advisor uses them for
all the email notifications that are dispatched to the intended recipients.
To configure the email and alarm notification settings:
1.
Click Settings in the left pane.
2. Select PA Settings.
The PA Settings screen appears.
3. Configure the following settings on the Email Settings screen:
SMTP Server Settings
•
The IP address or host name of the SMTP server that will be used for processing emails.
The default SMTP server IP address is localhost.
•
The related port number (accepts only numbers). The default port number is 25.
HP XP7 Performance Advisor uses the above settings to dispatch email notifications to
the intended recipients when the alarms or reports are generated, or the performance
data collection fails.
In addition, provide a common source email address to dispatch all the alarm and report
email notifications, and the performance data collection failure notifications. The default source
email address for dispatching these notifications is administrator@localhost. For valid email
address formats, see
“Alarm Email Settings” (page 74) .
To validate the SMTP server settings, click Test SMTP. If the SMTP data entered is valid, a test
mail is sent to the specified destination email address, and the following message is displayed
at the bottom of the PA Settings screen:
Valid SMTP settings
If the SMTP data entered is invalid, the following message is displayed:
Invalid SMTP settings
Alarm Email Settings
•
A valid destination email address that transforms into one of the following formats:
<alphanumeric_string>@<character_string>.<character_string> .
For example, [email protected]
◦
◦
<alphanumeric_string>@<character_string>.<character_string>.<character_string> .
