Email notification configuration file
Is it possible to recieve e-mails by severity?
I configured the e-mail notification configuration file mail-notify.conf to send e-mail notifications. I just have the basic setup in the file including the mail server, e-mail address of the sender, and the e-mail addresses to send the notifications to.
I just want to receive emails with a high severity such as orange and red.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Alex

This was really easy to fix once i looked at the right documentation.
What I did was in the Global Manager, I created a new Notification list called Elevated_Notifications. I copied the Default notification list to make it easy. I probably didn't even need to.
I then edited the Elevated_Notification and deleted the System rule. I then created a rule to only notify on Severity of 1 and 2. I also added page to notify on impact of 5 to 100. It is easy to do this because you select the drop down menu, select Severity, click on help button to the right and enter 1 to 2. This is similar for the impact.
I then used sm_edit to edit the mail-notify.conf file. I changed the default nllist to Elevated_Notifications. I saved the file and restarted the notification service. I recognized the difference right away because I only received one e-mail instead of twenty.
Hopes this helps somebody.
Thanks,
Alex
