3.16.3 Notifications
Notifications are sent only if a valid subscription has been created. Subscriptions, similar to regular emailing of reports can be found under Username → Notifications menu.
Notifications page provides an overview of existing subscriptions with features to create, edit, delete them. Check the following figure for a preview.
Use Add new subscription or Events drop-down to create a new subscription or edit, delete existing subscriptions by clicking corresponding icons. Creating or editing a subscription will bring up a pop-up like the one in the following figure.
Subscription details include:
- Topic – the title given to subscription in Notification page and also a textual part of notifications
If SMS notifications are used it is advised to keep the topic short so that there is enough space left to include details about the event- Choice of one or more IRP instances
- Interval between notifications – sets a rate limit of how often an email and/or SMS notification is sent. Value ‘No limit’ for the interval depicts no rate limits and all events will trigger a notification
SNMP Traps notification are not constrained by the interval between notifications. SNMP Traps are sent immediately as they are raised
The rate limit is enforced per subscription so it is still possible to receive multiple notifications if the subscribed events are part of different subscriptions- Destinations – IP address of a trap receiver for SNMP Trap notifications, email addresses, phone numbers and webhook channels. Multiple destinations of same type can be provided. At least one valid destination must be provided per subscription
IRP parses and recognizes whether a provided destination is a valid IP address, email address, phone number or web hook channel.
Supported formats are:
email name@host.domain
phone +digits
webhook #channel_name
snmptrap ipv4 or ipv4:port or [ipv6] or [ipv6]:port
- Event filters – allows filtering of events by textual description or by IRP component. Remove the filters to see all the subscribed events
- Subscribed events – the full list of events supported by IRP and tick marks for the events in this subscription. At least one event is required for a valid subscription.
