Messages from EMS? You can configure EMS to send mail directly to another account. Configure in SAM.

Shalom,

For scripted events, this might work well.

Hi Torsten,

Thank you for your concern.

Through EMS , we can not create an entry or an action for every event ;
For example how to create an action for High temperature event using EMS .

So many events are covert by so many monitors ...

use

/etc/opt/resmon/lbin/monconfig

and (M)odify

to adjust the email address:

============================================================================
============== Monitoring Request Manager Main Menu ==============
============================================================================

Note: Monitoring requests let you specify the events for monitors
to report and the notification methods to use.

Select:
(S)how monitoring requests configured via monconfig
(C)heck detailed monitoring status
(L)ist descriptions of available monitors
(A)dd a monitoring request
(D)elete a monitoring request
(M)odify an existing monitoring request
(E)nable Monitoring
(K)ill (disable) monitoring
(H)elp
(Q)uit
Enter selection: [s]

Hi,
If you want to redirect mail root to your email I suggest you to read

.forward could do the job.

Hi,
Of course you have to configure sendmail to permit this. Check the sendmail.cf and perhaps the smart relay

By forwarding you receive each and every mail, even statr and stop notifications. With the monconfig tool you can configure on which level you want to receive mails.
It's up to you ...

using .forward file is some sort of patchwork where you do not have a way to modify mail configuration. And it is not guaranteed to work.

since you are talking about EMS configurations and such, I am under the impression that you have root capability on this server. If this is true, it makes your life easier.

edit /etc/mail/aliases and insert a line like this :

root: myemail@mydomain.com

run command

newaliases

to compile the binary aliases database

make sure you have a valid mail relay in /etc/mail/sendmail.cf file. Look for a line like this:

DSmailrelayhost

where mailrelayhost is usually a MS exchange server handling your organization's internet email relaying. If it is not there you need to create it and make sure the administrators of this mailrelayhost know that you are going to use it to relay mail and have them add your server's IP address to the authorized mail senders list.

If you just want to direct the mail to another user's mailbox on the same system, you do not need the sendmail.cf modifications. Just add the userid as a root alias, like this

root: user1,user2,sysadmin

in /etc/mail/aliases and run newaliases command. Now all the root mail will be sent to all of the users separated by a comma on this line.

Hope this helps.
