8. Service configuration – global keywords & e-mail
To standardize the e-mail notification system, we recommend that you configure a global keyword for
the e-mail recipient so that all e-mail notifications are sent to the same address. When this address
changes, you only have to modify the value of this keyword instead of modifying the e-mail address in
all your policies.
To do this, make sure the MonitorMagic Control Center is enabled. You can enable/disable this window
by selecting the Control center option in the View menu. In this control center, all service
connections are listed and each connection is represented by a green or red status icon. Right-click on
the entry that matches the computer you chose to run the MonitorMagic service and select Configure
service. In the next window, navigate to the Custom keywords tab and add a new entry similar to
the screenshot below. Next, navigate to the SMTP E-mail tab and enter the details of your outgoing
SMTP e-mail server. As the MonitorMagic E-mail Address, you can choose a non-existent address
such as monitormagic@mycompany.com. Some e-mail servers perform additional security checks
such as the sender’s IP address or Reply-to address, so be careful to specify the correct settings.
