Common Settings for all Notification Types

For all notification types you have the option to send an email, send a HTTP request to a web server or to run an external program or batch file.

Each option can be enabled by a checkbox:

·      Send Email: Please provide the e-mail address to send the email to. If you want the email to go to multiple addresses with a single notification, please separate these addresses with a comma “,”. The second field allows one to select a mail template file to be used for this notification. The first line of the template file is used a email topic. You can use placeholders inside the template file.

·      Perform HTTP GET Request: Please enter a HTTP GET URL and PRTG will – in case the notification is fired – send an HTTP request to this URL. Placeholders can be used in the URL.

·      Execute Program/Batch File: Please provide the path to the EXE file or BAT/CMD file as well as the parameters. Placeholders can be used in the parameters field.

For the email template, the HTTP URL and the execute parameters you can use the following placeholders:

name=_D2HNOVMLPICTURE_>

Here is a sample for a mail template using placeholders:

name=_D2HNOVMLPICTURE_>

[PRTG] Notification: #info, #sensor

Date: #date #time

Group: #group

Sensor: #sensor

#message

name=_D2HNOVMLPICTURE_>
