NPC is short for Notification Processing Center, a sub-module for use with system event notification.

To activate the NPC module, do the following:

1.Create an NPC configuration file (in a simple text file format) using a text editor program.

2.Save it in the name of “agent.ini”

3.FTP it to the controller IP address, and then reset the controller for the configuration to take effect.

Listed below is the sample configuration. Specify your configuration using simple defining parameters as shown below.

events to be received by this receiver)
