Before you can configure and use subscriptions, the following must be completed:
The Assure UI administrator must configure policies for the technology that will be used by the type of event actions initiated by subscriptions.
To support subscriptions with an event action of Send email, configure the email server and specify a sent from email address in the Policies portlet on the Administration page. The Assure UI administrator needs to do this once.
To support subscriptions with an event action of Send SNMP notification, locate the MIB files for the portal and portal applications on the Assure UI server and import them into the location required by the SNMP manager application. Then configure the SNMP policies in the Policies portlet on the Administration page. MIB files need to be addressed during initial setup and when new subscription events are made available. The Assure UI administrator needs to.set up SNMP policies once.
Specify an email address in Assure UI user profiles for users who will configure or will be subscribed to subscriptions. This must be done once. Assure UI users without email addresses cannot configure or be subscribed to subscriptions.
The Assure UI administrator can do this for users from the Users portlet on the Administration page. Or, a user can do this for his or her user profile by selecting the Change Email Address action from the Subscriptions portlet on the Subscriptions page.
Define a user ID and password within portal connections used by instances that will have subscriptions. This must be done by the instance owners. A specified password ensures that the Assure UI portal can monitor subscriptions when the user is not logged in, and that the password will not be lost when the Assure UI server is stopped and restarted.
