I have NetXMS monitoring a group of servers I called Group A.
Now I want to add more groups, like Group B, Group C etc.

I need different emails/thresholds/notifications for each Group.

I cannot have Group A emails/thresholds going anywhere but to Group A email accounts.
Group B emails/thresholds to Group B email accounts and so on.

When I setup Group A, I used the default settings.
If I add Group B, I get Group B emails/thresholds going to Group A. Not good.

I think the only way to do this is reconfigure everything.

Template Groups
Alerts
Actions  (email accounts)
Event Processing

The part that I am having problems is, is Event Processing.
I do not know how to configure that to support multiple groups.

I am almost sure this can be done, just not sure how.
If you can assist me, I TIA!

Hi!

usually you use containers in object tree to group your servers. Then you can easily create rules in event processing policy for these groups - just by specifying required container as source. For example, to send e-mail to different people for group A and group B, you should create two rules:

1. Source = Container_A, Action = send_email_to_admin_1
2. Source = Container_B, Action = send_email_to_admin_2

Best regards,
