Admin Notifications (3.x.x and earlier)

The notifications allows subscribers to be notified of various scheduler events. Notifications use the configured SMTP.

Listing Subscribers

The main notifications screen shows the current subscriptions and their details. Click on the subscriber name to edit a user or click the Add Subscriber link in the navigation bar below the tabs to create a new subscriber.

Adding or Editing a Subscriber

When adding or editing a subscriber, a unique email address must be supplied, the subscriber can be made active or inactive, and various events can be subscribed to.

Note: The question mark icon next to form titles indicates inline help. Click on the icon to view help related to the current item.

When selecting events to subscribe to, the Add Subscription link will add a new row to select subscription settings. Rows can be removed with the Remove link to the right of the row.

Some events do not allow specifying a severity level as they are always informational events.

In the case of events related to specific jobs, you may select a specific job or choose to subscribe to events for all Jobs. Multiple subscriptions may be managed for the same event type if they apply to different target jobs.

Changes may be confirmed by clicking the Save button at the bottom of the form, or the one in the left navigation area.

Inactive Subscriptions

You may make a subscriber inactive to that no notifications are sent to the user until it is re-activated.

Likewise, you may wish to only deactivate certain subscription events, in which case the subscriber would still be notified of active subscriptions.

Sent Notifications Screen

This screen lists notification history based on the selected date range and other criteria. It can be accessed by clicking View Notifications in the secondary link bar, which is beneath the main tabs.

Fields

Fields shown in the log table are:

• Subscriber
• Event Time
• Event Category (the event classification)
• Event Severity Level
• Event Summary (may be truncated)
• Event Message (may be truncated)

Filtering

Records can be filtered by Date and Time. From and To fields will show user-friendly time selectors which enforce a valid date range. If you cannot select a date in the past or future, it is because the date widget is enforcing a valid time, and you may need to edit your From or To times appropriately.

Filters by Severity Level and Category are also supported. In the case of each, All or None links at the top of the selector allow you to easily make multiple selections or deselections. The selector title will indicate how many options are chosen at a given time.

The Refresh button is used to refresh the results table. You may get a notice indicating the search results show too many records. In this case, you may wish to adjust your filter settings.

You may page through results using the paging at the top right of the table, and filter the table's records using the filter input box.

Expanding Rows

Records within the table may show a (+) sign to indicate the row may be expanded to see additional details. This will include full event message and summary if they have been truncated. Click the (+) icon to expand the record, and (-) to collapse it.
