Overall WEBES Release Notes
1.6 WEBES Known Issues
To enable verbose information for SMTP notification, you will need to stop and restart both the SMTP service and the DESTA Director.
Following are the steps to enable SMTP debug information.
1. Run the following commands:
$ define /sys tcpip$smtp_log_level 5 $ define /sys tcpip$smtp_recv_debug 5 $ define /sys tcpip$smtp_recv_trace 1 $ desta msg
$ desta stop
$ @sys$startup:tcpip$smtp_shutdown $ @sys$startup:tcpip$smtp_startup
2. Ensure that the following fields are set up as required in the file.
SVCTOOLS_HOME:[SPECIFIC.DESTA.CONFIG]NOTIFYCA.TXT:
SERVER=<SMTP server name, or an MX Lookup entry>
FROM=<sea@dns.domain.com>
TO=<your mail id>
An MX LOOKUP entry is a pointer to a list of SMTP mail servers. Refer to the OpenVMS documentation for details on MX LOOKUP.
3. Restart the Director
$ desta start
4.Wait for 5 minutes for the Director to switch to automatic analysis mode. Before this time, no new live events will be processed.
5.Issue the following command which writes a test event to the system ERRLOG.SYS file for SEA to process. It generates one problem report resulting in one email notification via SMTP.
$ wsea test
6.Check the Director log file for SMTP entries with TYPE or EDIT/READ or SEARCH. The entire process may take about
SVCTOOLS_HOME:[SPECIFIC.WEBES.LOGS]DESTA_DIR.LOG
7.Run the following commands to stop the debug logging for the DESTA Director and copy the log files.
$ desta msg
$ copy desta_dir.log desta_dir_debug_<nodename>.log $ desta start
8. Run the following commands to stop the SMTP debug logging.
$ deassign /sys tcpip$smtp_log_level $ deassign /sys tcpip$smtp_recv_debug $ deassign /sys tcpip$smtp_recv_trace $ @sys$startup:tcpip$smtp_shutdown
$ @sys$startup:tcpip$smtp_startup
