Notification
References Notes

Specifies a System Monitor notification that includes

  • NotificationInterface - use of the built-in interface for Nagios (and clones) with a NotificationInterface element. This interface does not require external components such as the System Monitor Client, e.g. the nsca_send utility.
  • NotificationCommand - use of a System Monitor command line client that is invoked by JobScheduler. For Nagios (and clones) this could be e.g. the nsca_send utility.
  • NotificationMail - use of a System Monitor mail client that is invoked by JobScheduler.

The JobScheduler Monitoring Interface will use the interfaces or command line tool to report messages to the respective System Monitor.
