If there is no communication with the controlled equipment (or vice versa - when it is restored), it is possible to use an automatic system of notification of employees by means of e-mail and/or SMS.

To do this, you should:

  • in the section "Settings - Notifications - E-mail]] section, check the sending/delivery of mail using the link 'Sending test'.

If you plan to send SMS - you need to make sure under "Settings - Notifications - SMS]]" that messages are sent/received.

  • on the "Personnel - Staff" page, for each account, the required employee, enter the email/telephone address and enter the given values in the "Phone"/"E-mail" fields.

  • on the same page "Personnel - Staff - Notifications" for each employee account, tick the required checkboxes "Informing about equipment inactivity - SMS" / "Informing about equipment inactivity - E-mail".

  • in the card of each managed Switch - when editing it - you can tick whether to send e-mail / SMS notifications when this device is inactive.

This way when activity/inactivity events occur on the specified devices - messages will be sent out to the specified employees using the selected method.

We will separately mention the usm_observer module, which allows more flexible querying of customisable hardware parameters and in which employee event notifications are configured in more detail.


Starting from version 3.18:

Scheduler tasks to notify you when communication with equipment is lost - sends messages based on geographic availability.
