Managing email alarm notifications
IMC provides extensive control and flexibility over the management of alarms it generates. You can:
• Set alarms to trigger email and SMS text message notifications to recipients defined by the
administrator.
• Forward alarms to other management systems.
• Configure times of the day and days of the week that notifications are sent or forwarded to other
management systems.
• Configure which alarm types generate notifications or forwarding to other management systems.
• Configure which devices trigger email, SMS messaging, or alarm forwarding to other management
systems when an alarm condition occurs.
• Configure which severity or alarm levels trigger email, SMS messaging notification or alarm
forwarding to another management system.
All of these alarm configuration options can be combined into one or more alarm notification rules,
providing the ability to customize IMC to meet organizational alarm notification needs.
