Openmanage server admin alert settings
Greetings everyone,
I have seen a few posts about setting up alerts with Openmanage server admin (OMSA) and from what i can see and tell is that unless your server is running a SMTP service the alerts wont work. Is this correct? If this is not correct can anyone point me in the right direction on setting it up so that i can get alerts.

Hello
You will need a local mail server to use the email features within OMSA. The SMTP configuration options are very simplistic and not robust enough to allow connections to mail servers on the WAN. You can find information on the mail options available in the OMSA manual.

Configuring custom scripted alert responses allows almost unlimited possibilities. If you are familiar with scripting then you may be able to set up the alert action to perform what you want. The execute application option is what you would use to perform script responses.
Thanks

OK, i have now gotten things to work as i wanted.
Yes OMSA does not do the alerts, But as long as you have the IDRAC card you can get things to work.
In OMSA go to "Main system chassis" > Remote Access > Then in main window click "Launch IPv4 Web Interface" Once in the IDRAC you should see "Alerts" on left had side. Once in Alerts main window, you will see a "SNMP and email settings" on the top. This is where you can configure your SMTP server and be able to recieve alerts.
