Notification parameters specify what types of notifications are listed and how email notifications are sent.
Select Administration > Notification Configuration.
Only notify me about events of at least this severity level: This field lets you specify the severity level of events that are recorded and displayed in the Notifications page and through email notifications.
The severity levels are listed from lowest to highest, with Success being the default setting.
If you change the severity level, Novell File Reporter records and displays only the events for that severity level and higher. Older notifications from formerly recorded severity levels continue to be displayed in the Notifications page. For example, if you change the setting from Success to Warning, only warning and error events are recorded, but the formerly recorded success and info events are still displayed, unless you filter them out.
To avoid receiving emails for every successful event, you should modify this setting to a more restrictive level.
Days to display notifications in the dashboard: This field indicates the number of days an event is listed in the Notifications page.
Enable Mail Notifications: Clicking this activates the fields in the Mail Settings region of the page.
Mail Server: Specify the IP address or hostname of the mail server to use for sending the email notifications.
Port: Specify the port number used by the mail server.
Connection Type: Specify the encryption type used by the mail server.
From Email Address: Specify the address you want displayed in the From field of the email notifications that are sent.
Use Authentication: If your mail server requires authentication, select this.
Username: Specify the mail server username.
Password: Specify the mail server password.
Minutes to buffer multiple notifications in a single email: Novell File Reporter can consolidate messages into a single email notification. If you change this setting to 5, Novell File Reporter consolidates all of the events that took place in 5 minutes and emails you a notification.
