In-Depth Information
You can configure Operations Manager to automatically send an email, instant message, send
an SMS, or run a command when an alert is raised. Of course, you learned in Chapter 1 that
if you integrate Orchestrator with Operations Manager, you can trigger runbook automation
when an Operations Manager alert is raised, however this chapter is focused on Operations
Manager.
To configure alert notifications, you must have prepared the following elements:
■
Configure the Notification Account Run As Profile with a Run As account.
■
Prepare a notification channel. The notification channel defines the notification format
and method of transmission.
■
Configure notification subscribers. Subscribers define the notification recipients and
notification schedule.
■
Prepare a notification subscription. This specifies the conditions for sending a notifica-
tion, which notification is used, and which subscribers receive the notification.

Notification action accounts
Operations Manager uses the Notification Account Run As profile to send notifications. The
Notification Account Run As profile requires a Run As account that has the necessary creden-
tials for sending notifications. To create a notification action account, perform the following
steps:
1.
Right-click the Security node in the Administration workspace of the Operations Man-
ager console, and click Create Run As Account.
On the General Properties page of the Create Run As Account Wizard, ensure that
Windows is selected as the Run As account type. In the Display Name text box, type
Notification Action Account,
as shown in Figure 3-11.
