Reports and Alert Notifications in E-Mail

Published : September 27, 2005

Notifications increase the ease of your routine monitoring. Rather than connecting to DPM Administrator Console to find out if there are any alerts that require your attention, you can subscribe to receive the following by e-mail:

• Any or all DPM reports, in the format that you select, and on a schedule that you establish.

• Individual notification for each alert of the type to which you subscribe, and a notification when the alert has been resolved.

If you enable notifications or subscribe to reports, consider setting up a rule in Microsoft Office Outlook to filter notification and report mail into one or more dedicated mailbox folders. You can filter these e-mail notifications by using the From address or subject line. The From address of e-mail messages that contain notifications or reports will be the address that you specify when you configure the SMTP server.

Note

Table 2.5 provides a list of subject lines that are used in each type of alert notification and each type of DPM report. You can use the text in these subject lines when you set up rules in Outlook to filter reports and alert notifications into specific folders.
