This document describes how to
configure mail alerts for DB BACKUP FAILURE.

The same procedure can be used to
configure mail alert for any CCMS monitoring context

Pre-requisites

    alerts through CCMS
  2. CCMS Method definition.

Recipient = internet address, group name (to whom the alert must be sent)

And other parameters can also be included as per the requirement

Here are the parameters configured as per our current scenario requirement.

Thoroughly check the parameters and navigate to control tab as shown below.

Completion of the above process will trigger you an yello alert on "start of DB backup" and red alert if "DB backup fails"

Hope this helps
