Email notifications from Dell OpenManage?

Hmm, not sure on that. I don't use Gmail to send my notifications, I just use on-site SMTP relay that I've set up on my client's servers in IIS. Possible that outbound 465 is being blocked? Wouldn't tend to think that outbound is blocked, but some of my clients only allow outgoing port 25 or 587 out from certain internal IPs to help combat spam originating from their networks. I dunno man, maybe search Google boards for Gmail smtp relay port 465 timing out, or something?

Just dropped this onto my new PE T-320,  Beautiful Nick, you are the best.

I'm still very surprised that this functionality isn't built-in. Email alerts are such a key component to make us Sys Admin's lives less-hectic. 

I've got this SMTP Notify working on probably 10 Power Edge servers so far, and my clients are really appreciating the proactiveness (is that a word?) it gives them.

I had to add EnableSSL="True" after the port line to get it to connect...

Nick,

What editor did you use to modify the Config.xml file?

Thanks,

Tony

Not to answer for Nick but I would think any text editor (notepad, etc...)

Thanks Tim!

I was able to get it to work, and it sent a message to my email saying "Watchdog ASR" which is the first alert in the list. I tried to simulate a failure by disconnecting on of the two power supplies, but it did not send me another message alerting me about the failed power supply. Is there anything else I need to define or do to get alerts?

Thanks,

Tony

Never mind - I figured it out. Thanks.

Dear Friends,

Dear Nick,

i have downloaded file and also successful test message. now how its going to work automatically if there is any alert. please help

Hi,

Usage is pretty simple. Just install Dell Open Manage if not already and put under System -> Alert Management -> Alert Actions -> Execute application, for me C:\Alerts\DellSMTPNotify.exe 1, where C:\Alerts\ is the path to file and 1 is alert number (check config.xml)

Cheers,

Thanks very much Nick

i can get alert as per my choice accordingly

Thanks Lot

Hi Bowlerman,

Please read this article first: https://support.google.com/a/answer/176600?hl=en

Then try to use:

...

      SMTPServer="aspmx.l.google.com"
    SMTPPort="25"
    From="youremail@gmail.com"
    To="youremail@gmail.com"
    CC=""
    Username="youremail@gmail.com"
    Password="your password"
    Subject="Test">
    This is a message from DELL server
 

...

I've got some emails with these settings and some emails just disappeared.

Cheers,
