Managing Alert Types

Each of the alert types includes the following items:

Channel type: format of the message that will be sent to the specified
users when the application generates an alert. The channel type
includes:

the short e-mail to send a brief message, in plain text.

the detailed e-mail to send complete information in html format
with the OTDR trace in attachment.

the xml e-mail, like the detailed e-mail, is sent to the configured
e-mail account of the user. The GIS system can use the physical
route information from the xml mail present on the mail server to
find the precise location of the fault. For more information,
see Managing Optical Routes on page 139.

the SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) to send alerts
in the form of SNMP, trap.

the RTU can be set to send event data — change in the status of a
fault, life signal of the RTU, errors, and warnings — to external
applications as a JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) object through
HTTP to the configured HTTP Post URL. The HTTP Post URL can be
configured from the user page. For more information,
see Managing Users on page 106.

E-mail addresses of the people to whom the alert messages must be
sent.
