Attributes

Table: Required attributes for Linux

Required attribute

Description

SnmpConsoles

Specifies the machine names of the SNMP managers and the severity level of the messages to be delivered. The severity levels of messages are Information, Warning, Error, and SevereError. Specifying a given severity level for messages generates delivery of all messages of equal or higher severity.

SnmpConsoles is a required attribute if SmtpServer is not specified; otherwise, SnmpConsoles is an optional attribute. Specify both SnmpConsoles and SmtpServer if desired.

Type and dimension: string-association

Example:

"172.29.10.89" = Error, "172.29.10.56" = Information

SmtpServer

Specifies the machine name of the SMTP server.

SmtpServer is a required attribute if SnmpConsoles is not specified; otherwise, SmtpServer is an optional attribute. You can specify both SmtpServer and SnmpConsoles if desired.

Type and dimension: string-scalar

Example: "smtp.example.com"

Table: Optional attributes for Linux

Optional attribute

Description

EngineListeningPort

Change this attribute if the VCS engine is listening on a port other than its default port.

Type and dimension: integer-scalar

Default: 14141

MessagesQueue

Size of the VCS engine's message queue. Minimum value is 30.

Type and dimension: integer-scalar

Default: 30

NotifierListeningPort

Any valid, unused TCP/IP port number.

Type and dimension: integer-scalar

Default: 14144

NotifierSourceIP

If this attribute is populated, all the notifications sent from the notifier (SMTP and SNMP) will be sent from the interface having this IP address.

Note:

Make sure that the Source IP given in this attribute is present in the /etc/hosts file or is DNS-resolvable.

Type and dimension: string-scalar

Example: "10.209.77.111"

SmtpFromPath

Set to a valid email address, if you want the notifier to use a custom email address in the FROM: field.

Type and dimension: string-scalar

Example: "usera@example.com"

SmtpRecipients

Specifies the email address where SMTP sends information and the severity level of the messages. The severity levels of messages are Information, Warning, Error, and SevereError. Specifying a given severity level for messages indicates that all messages of equal or higher severity are received.

Note:

SmtpRecipients is a required attribute if you specify SmtpServer.

Type and dimension: string-association

Example:

"james@example.com" = SevereError, 
"admin@example.com" = Warning

SmtpReturnPath

Set to a valid email address, if you want the notifier to use a custom email address in the Return-Path: <> field.

If the mail server specified in SmtpServer does not support SMTP VRFY command, then you need to set the SmtpVrfyOff to 1 in order for the SmtpReturnPath value to take effect.

Type and dimension: string-scalar

Example: "usera@example.com"

SmtpServerTimeout

This attribute represents the time in seconds notifier waits for a response from the mail server for the SMTP commands it has sent to the mail server. This value can be increased if you notice that the mail server is taking a longer duration to reply back to the SMTP commands sent by notifier.

Type and dimension: integer-scalar

Default: 10

SmtpServerVrfyOff

Set this value to 1 if your mail server does not support SMTP VRFY command. If you set this value to 1, the notifier does not send a SMTP VRFY request to the mail server specified in SmtpServer attribute while sending emails.

Type and dimension: boolean-scalar

Default: 0

SnmpCommunity

Specifies the community ID for the SNMP manager.

Type and dimension: string-scalar

Default: public

SnmpdTrapPort

Port on the SNMP console machine where SNMP traps are sent.

If you specify more than one SNMP console, all consoles use this value.

Type and dimension: string-scalar

Default: 162

MessageExpiryInterval

Time in seconds after which the messages expire. If the VCS engine is unable to send a message to the notifier within the message expiry interval, it deletes the message from the VCS engine's message queue.

Minimum value: 3600

Type and dimension: integer-scalar

Default: 3600
