Administration Guide › Action Alerts › How to Create an Action Alert › Set Notification Destinations

Set Notification Destinations

You can set one or more of the following destinations for notification of an alert:

E-mail

You can set automatic email notification for an alert to help ensure that the proper personnel are aware of alerts relating to their job role or responsibility. Configure a mail server for your CA User Activity Reporting Module environment before you send alert notification emails.

IT PAM Process

You can run the specified CA IT PAM process if the alert is for a condition that requires notification of the third-party product. Integration with CA IT PAM must be configured under Report Server and IT PAM must have the process defined before you can run the process from alerts.

SNMP Trap

You can send event data captured by an alert to one or more Network Operations Centers (NOCs). You can target management servers such as CA Spectrum or CA NSM using SNMP v2 or SNMP v3 traps. You specify the destinations during the process of scheduling the alert. Integration with SNMP must be configured before you can send alerts using SNMP.

Note: If you do not set a destination, the alert results are published only to the RSS feed.
