Configuring SMTP server

Note:
This configuration is necessary if you are using e-mail notifications for scheduled reports. Having a
functioning SMTP server is also mandatory.

This section describes how to configure NetAct PM Platform to use an external SMTP server to be used in e-
mail notifications from Performance Management applications. If your SMTP server provides STARTTLS
protocol perform also the procedure described in Install SSL certificate retrieved by SMTP+STARTTLS.

1. Log in to the VM where the dmgr service is running with the omc user.

To locate the right VM, see Locating the right virtual machine for a service in Administering NetAct Virtual
Infrastructure.

2. Check if the custom.properties file exists in the

$VARROOT/global/pm/shared/content3/custom/conf directory. If it exists go to step 4, otherwise go
to the next step.

3. Duplicate the custom.properties.default file, in the

$VARROOT/global/pm/shared/content3/custom/conf directory, and rename it to
custom.properties .

4. Edit custom.properties file in the $VARROOT/global/pm/shared/content3/custom/conf directory.

Look for mail.host , mail.port and mail.from entries, and add the host IP, the SMTP server port, and
send from e-mail, in case there are no such entries add them, for example:

(...)
mail.host = 10.9.200.10
mail.port = 25
mail.from = sender@<domain>
(...)

5. Restart the Performance Manager application, with root user.

[root@vmHostname]# /opt/cpf/pylib/bin/stopApplication.sh performanceManager-ear

PMCluster
[root@vmHostname]# /opt/cpf/pylib/bin/startApplication.sh performanceManager-ear
PMCluster
