You can enter up to 256 characters of message text in each event action’s Message dialog. The
Message dialog contains two list boxes. The Message box contains the text of the message you
want to send. The Parameters list contains any parameters you want included as message text.
Parameters are delimited by “<” and “>” characters. Each parameter placeholder you add to the
Message box is substituted with corresponding event information when an event happens.
You can test event actions you configure to make sure they work as expected.
The following table lists the available event actions and describes each.
Alert Action
Description
Message Box
Displays a message box on the computer you configure the
action from.
You can select whether the message box sounds a beep
when it appears and whether the message box is system
modal. A system modal message box prevents you from
working in other programs until you acknowledge the dialog.
There is an 8 message box limit for display.
Broadcast
Sends a broadcast message to everyone connected to the
server generating the alert (i.e., runs on the server).
Currently supported on Windows NT servers only.
Pager
Sends a pager message to the number you specify.
Any computer you configure a pager action on needs to have
a modem. The Pager alert action uses the same modem the
Server Manager console is configured to use.
Internet E-Mail
Sends an Internet e-mail message to the user you specify.
You need to also specify the SMTP Internet mail server that
the alert action will send the message through. If you specify
the mail server by name, you need to have a DNS server
configured so the Internet Mail alert action can resolve the
server’s IP address. If you don’t have a DNS server, you can
enter the mail server’s IP address directly.
If you don’t have access to an SMTP Internet mail server at
your site, this alert action won’t work.
Program Execution
The Program Execution alert action runs a program on the
computer you configure the alert action from.
