Emailing Notifications in hpsim5

[Glenn Barnes]

How do you setup HPSIM to email events and hardware failures to an exchange users email account?

[GK_maan]

That's is very easy, here is how to accomplish that:

1. Logon to your SIM mgmt console
2. Options ->Events -> Automatic Event Handling -> Email settings
Specify your SMTP host (Exchange Server) and senders E-mail address.
3. Options ->Events -> Automatic Event Handling -> Manage Tasks ->Edit and finish the configuration

Good Luck

I would like to take this one step further if possible. I understand how to create a notification task but I dont see where during the process you can see to only link the task to a certain system collection.

For example I have 4 private system collections since I have 4 diff admin groups that monitor their own section. I want a page\email sent to the respected group if there a critical event appears. I get a decent amount of options like IP, Name etc etc but dont see anything about a system collection container.

Thanks in advance!

SIM doesn't appear to do Event Handling via containers. Specify each system in the event:
"System name - is - xxx"
..
"System name - is - xxx"
"System name - is - xxx"

Action: Send e-mail ....

So it appears they removed a feature from IM7 to SIM5 which really surprises me. That might be a decent method for someone w/ limited amount of system and one admin group but for my situation its unacceptable. Im looking at segregating the systems monitored in SIM into four system collections so each admin group can only access their system and it was my goal to only have them alerted on their system collection. Creating a notification task and have to individually add a system is not an option when you have 1000+ systems.

Hmm well if anyone else has any other suggestions I would appreciate it.
