Configuring NetAct Monitor for the use of an e-mail server

You must have a centralized mail server to enable alarm forwarding to e-mail. Configure the mail server you
want to use in the Pref_system_fmcore.xml file.

1. Log in to the VM where fm_pipe service is running as the omc user.

To locate the right NetAct VM, see Locating the right virtual machine for a service document.

2. Copy Pref_system_fmcore.xml to custom conf directory by executing:

cp /opt/nokia/oss/conf/Pref_system_fmcore.xml /etc/opt/nokia/oss/custom/conf/

3. Edit the file permissions to 664 after modification of preference file by executing:

chmod -R 664 /etc/opt/nokia/oss/custom/conf/Pref_system_fmcore.xml

No restart or refresh of GEP service is required after this modification.

4. Edit the Pref_system_fmcore.xml file by executing:

vi /etc/opt/nokia/oss/custom/conf/Pref_system_fmcore.xml

5. Modify the emailClient node under system/fmcore and following entries for the emailClient node in
file.

Sample node structure of the preference file is as follows:

Attribute Value Description

mailServerName Name or IP address of the Mail Server

userName User name of the mail-sending account. For

example, Admin .
 Attribute Value Description

domainName Domain name of the mail-sending account. For

example, titans.com

mail.smtp.sendpartial true If the value is set to true , mails are sent only to
the valid email addresses even if there are any
invalid addresses in the given list of addresses. By
default, the value is set to true .

false If the value is set to false , mails are not be sent

even if one of the email address is invalid in the
given list of addresses.

mail.debug true If the value is set to true , debug logs of mails that
are sent are logged.

false If the value is set to false , debug logs of mails

false If the value is set to false , TLS for email

communication is disabled.
