Notification Configuration

1.Select the Administration item in the main menu of the Control Center. In the opened window, select Notifications configuration in the control menu.

3.To enable notifications sending, set the switch on the left of the notifications block header to the corresponding position:

4.In this section, you can create several notifications blocks (profiles), e.g., for the different sending methods. To add one more block, click

on the right of the notifications block settings. At the bottom of the page, one more notifications block will be added. Configuration of different notifications blocks as their templates texts is performed independently.

5.In the Title field, specify the name of added notifications block. This name is used, e.g. in configuration of the Statistic reports in the Server schedule. Further, to edit the header, click it and type necessary name. If you have more than one notification blocks, when you click the header text, the drop-down list with headers of existing notifications blocks will be prompted.

6.To configure notifications sending, select necessary type for notifications sending from the Notifications send method drop-down list:

•Push-notifications—send push notifications to Dr.Web Mobile Control Center. This option is available in the Notifications send method drop-down list only after Dr.Web Mobile Control Center has been connected to this Dr.Web Server.

•Windows Message—send notifications using Windows Messenger (for Servers under Windows OS only).

Settings description for each type of notifications sending is given in this section below.

7.For notifications sending, the predefined set of standard Server notifications is provided.

Description of predefined notifications and their parameters is given in the Appendices document, in p. Appendix D1. Predefined Notifications Description.

a)In the notifications list, set the flags next to those notifications that will be sent according to the send method of current notifications block.

b)To change notifications settings, click

next to the edited notification. Notification template will be opened. If necessary, edit the text of notification to send. In the notification text you can use template variables (in braces). To add variables, use drop-down lists on the message header. When a message is being generated, the system replaces template variables with a certain text, which depends upon its current parameters. The list of available variables is given in the Appendices document, in p. Appendix D3. The Parameters of the Notification System Templates.

c)For email notifications, you are provided to add arbitrary user-defined fields in the Headers additional section, in the template editor for each notification (see step b)). Headers must be formed according to the RFC 822, RFC 2822 standards and must not match with fields defined in the email standards. Particularly, the RFC 822 standard guarantees that specification does not contain headers started with X-, thus it is recommended to set the names in the following format: Х-<header-name>. For example: X-Template-Language: English.

d)For notifications from the Station subsection, you can set the list of stations on the events on which notifications will be send. In the template editing window, in the Groups of monitored stations tree, select groups of stations to monitor events and send corresponding notifications. To select several groups, use ctrl or shift.

For the SNMP send method, notification template texts are set at the side of SNMP receiver (management station in RFC 1067 term). Via the Control Center in the Station subsection, you can specify only the list of stations on the events on which notifications will be send.
