Net Send

Top  Previous  Next

This dialog controls the net send options.

 

With the "Net Send" action, short alert messages can be sent via the Windows "net send" facility. These messages are delivered on a best-effort basis. If the recipient can be reached, they will pop up in a message box on the recipient's machine. If the recipient cannot be reached, they will simply be discarded. No buffering takes place. Consequently, the rule engine does not check if the message can be delivered. It will never flag an action to be in error due to a reported delivery problem with "net send".

Message to Send

 

This is the message that is sent to the intended target.

 

Please note that the message content of the Message to send field can now be configured. Event properties are described in the property replacer section.
