How to Notify Administrators
The Notify Administrators action enables PowerChute plus to send broadcast messages to selected administrators when a specific event occurs. You select this action as a check box option in the "Event Actions" dialog box.
Use the following steps to configure the Notify Administrators action for an event.
- From the Configuration menu, choose Event Actions..., and highlight the event in the Events list in the dialog box.
- Mark the check-box for the Notify Administrators action.
- Click Options... next to Notify Administrators to open its dialog box.
- Configure which administrators to notify when the event occurs:
- To change the message, edit the Notification Message text.
Note:
Changing the Notification Message text has no effect on the default message text in the [PopupText] or [EventText] section of the PowerChute plus initialization file.
- Use the Wait field to define how long PowerChute plus waits before notifying administrators (
5
seconds by default).
Note:
PowerChute plus notifies administrators only when the event lasts for the defined Wait period. For example, for a setting of 10
, administrators are not notified if the event lasts less than 10 seconds.
- Click OK to save your changes and exit the dialog box.
