Alarm Notification

Choose the method of alarm notification (Play sound, Execute program/script, Send email).

Option "Execute program/script" allows to send snmp trap with external utility.
For example you can use snmpTrapGen utility from https://ezfive.com/snmpsoft-tools/
Enable "Execute program/script" and enter the string:
c:\tools\snmpTrapGen.exe -r:192.168.0.35 -to:.1.3.6.1.2.1.1.4.0 -vid:1 -vtp:str -val:<text>
where 192.168.0.35 - trap receiver
The program will replace <text> with notification text.



Email Options

You can specify more than one email address.
Define the settings of your SMTP server for the alarm notification via email.
A common problem is that mail is not being sent.
It is because some SMTP servers require app password to be functional.
For example, for Gmail see https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833?hl=en
This also applies to MS Office mail and others.
