OpenNMS – Email Notification

Hi All,

From last week I just started to work with OpenNMS. It’s such a wonderful web based network discovery tool. It has lot of features then other NMS products.

I downloaded the version 1.5.91 from OpenNMS download server. Compiled with maven and added with eclipse workbench. Every thing works fine except mail notification. After some RND on this, finally i solved the problem. I used gmail smtp server.

All open NMS configurations related files are found under etc folder of openNMS. To enable mail notification we need to do some changes in the configuration files.

Edit Javamail-configuration.xml to set SMTP information

org.opennms.core.utils.fromAddress=frommailid@gmail.com

org.opennms.core.utils.useJMTA=false

org.opennms.core.utils.transport=smtp

org.opennms.core.utils.mailHost=smtp.gmail.com

org.opennms.core.utils.smtpport=587

org.opennms.core.utils.smtpssl.enable=false

org.opennms.core.utils.authenticate=true

org.opennms.core.utils.authenticateUser=tomailid@gmail.com

org.opennms.core.utils.authenticatePassword=password

org.opennms.core.utils.starttls.enable=true

org.opennms.core.utils.messageContentType=text/html

org.opennms.core.utils.charset=UTF-8

Edit notifd-configuration.xml to enable notification

status=”on”

Example:
notifd-configuration
status=“on”
pages-sent=”SELECT * FROM notifications”
next-notif-id=”SELECT nextval(‘notifynxtid’)”
next-group-id=”SELECT nextval(‘notifygrpid’)”
