Prime Infrastructure - Email Alerts by Virtual Domain

We are currently providing wireless to various buildings and districts via flexconnect controllers and use Prime as a monitoring device each separate group is able to access individually to view their maps and APs. I have received a request for email alerts when APs are down from one district, but I see no way to group the email alerts that Prime sends out. It seems to be you can vary by type (APs vs switches) but not by virtual domains or groups of devices. Is there any way to pull this off directly from Prime?
I could potentially have all email alerts sent to one inbox and then forward based on rules to include the AP syntax for each district, but that would be quite messy, especially if only one of the many districts wants the alerts.
Thanks for any idea you can provide.

Just an update for anyone who may stumble on this issue and have the same problem. In version 1.4 of Prime Infrastructure if you change your virtual domain in the top right and then go to alerts and choose email options you have a completely new list you can set up. Doing this you can do a root folder for a company or district you are providing for and setup email alerts for only that teir and bellow of access. This way they only see alerts from APs and devices they have access too. Meanwhile you can leave the root teir to email yourself and then separate them out via inbox rules as desired.
This may be possible on older versions of Prime, but I did not notice the email alerts being an option while under the other domains until 1.4.

  • Setting up email accounts for virtual domains....

    Hello,
    I am bringing my email hosting in-house and am having problems getting it to work. I follow the documentation as best I can and am ending up with the inability to log into the account with my email client.
    I can send emails the the account without any bounce back, and my email client (Apple Mail) can find the server, but my login is failing.
    I can also ping the domain and it is resolving to the correct IP.
    I've :
    - enabled virtual domains
    - added the domain
    - added a user with the a shortname of [email protected]
    - given the user access to the mail service in server admin.
    My client is setup as:
    username: [email protected]
    passwork: ****
    incoming server: mail.virtualdomain.com
    My hunch is that I am not correctly setting up the user and/or their permissions.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    cheers,
    jr

    Thanks for the pointer.
    the mailaccess.log is empty and the ApplePassword* has no references to mail access attempts.
    Although I am not sure what needs to be fixed, it does seem to indicate that the server isn't responding to login attempts.
    The mail client is Apple mail.
    In addition, the test messages I sent did actually get bounced back, it just tool several hours.
    The additional test that I ran was turning off the mail services from the server preferences. This resulted in the client not being able to find the server at all.
    So, it's not completely messed up, but appears to be misconfigured.
    cheers,
    jr

  • Prime alarm email alert question

    Does anyone know how to change the email suppression duration after an alarm is tripped from 30 minutes to something longer?  If an alarm is tripped
    in the middle of the night no one is available to respond and acknowledge the alarm until the morning, so it is possible to have a flood of emails
    overnight. I would like to change the email suppression duration from 30 minutes to 4 hours, but I do not see where to do this. Either a gui or a cli
    setting change would be fine, I just don't know where it is.  Cisco support is telling me this is not a user configurable item.  That doesn't sound
    right to me.  Has anyone found where to change this? The version of Prime is 2.0.0.0.294.

    Hello juned!
    Having difficulty finding your phone's alarm and enabling email notifications?  I am glad to help.  I use these features daily, as well.
    The alarm on your DROID Incredible 2 is a feature within the "Clock" application.  I'm including a link to the device manual that lists the instructions for setting an alarm.  They are found starting on page 179.
    As far as your email notifications, this would depend on how your email accounts are setup.  If you are using the Google/Gmail email account you can enable & change the email notifications by going into the Gmail account settings.  These instructions are found on page 148 of the device manual.  Now if you are using another POP3/IMAP or Exchange email account, the notification settings are within the "Mail" application.  The instructions for enabling & changing these notification settings are found on page 160 of the device manual.
    I hope I have answered your questions, and have addressed your concerns.

  • Cisco Prime Infrastructure Mystery Alerts

    Hello
    I have PI in evaluation mode, and designed, and deployed various monitors against specific port groups. I noticed, that I would see alerts for interfaces flapping that were not part of the port group specified in the monitoring deployment. I have now undeployed all monitoring except for device health, and still see alerts for interfaces flapping. Am I missing something, or is PI not working correctly?
    Thanks in advance.

    Robert-
    If you create a separate service rule, you can have it fork TACACS authentication requests from that specific IP to a different Service identity and authorization process, where you can tell it to select a specific shell profile.  Then all you have to do is create a separate shell profile for managing Prime and have that one selected.  We do this with our UCS dvices, regular router/switch CLI logins, etc.
    So for example:
    UCS: TACACS request --> if match service selection rule "from UCS devices", go to UCS admin access policy -->  if match ucs admin identiy reqirements, give UCS admin shell profile
    PI: TACACS request --> if match service selection rule "from PI devices", go to PI admin access policy -->  if match PI admin  identiy reqirements (which are same as UCS), give PI admin shell profile
    Default: TACACS request --> if match tacacs protocol from our IP range, go to default device admin policy --> if match defaul identy requirements, give default admin shell profile

  • Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.3 to 2.1

    I have a Cisco Prime Infrastructure version 1.3 virtual appliance and we have a new Prime Infrastructure version 2.1 virtual appliance set up. I would like to get the wireless information put into the new server. This includes the WLC and APs and then the campus maps and the location of each AP on the map Im not sure if the heat mapping is a feature of Prime or if I have to set that up too. But I would like the heat maps.

  • Rejecting emails to unknown virtual users before filtering them?

    hi
    it appears that all emails to any virtual domain on my server gets "filtered" BEFORE it gets checked against valid users for that domain.
    1. mail in
    2. filtered
    3. checked if valid
    4. rejected (unknown)
    Is there any way to have the validity check done before the filtering?
    It would seem more economical if it worked like this...
    1. mail in
    2. checked if valid
    3. rejected (unknown)

    I have used pterobyte's virtual mail set up in the past without a problem - and found that Apple has broken the postfix in 10.5 (as it says on the PDF that pterobyte is recommending.)
    If you, like me, had already set up each user in WGM to have two shortnames (the second one - an email at virtual domain) then you only need to append the users to your "virtual" file in "/etc/postfix".
    EG:
    [email protected] shortname
    do this for each virtual user, postmap the file and reload postfix. Then the mail server will accept the email addressed to your virtual user.
    By All Means: read the PDF for more instructions.

  • Postfix virtual domain always_bcc

    We have set up a Xserve running OS X 10.4.x server to receive emails for
    multiple virtual domains. Each domain has many users. Is it possible to
    set up postfix "always_bcc" in main.cf or another configuration file
    to have email received by virtual users in a specific domain copied to specific user
    in that domain? i.e., emails received for [email protected], [email protected]
    will be copied to [email protected]
    There are many other domains in the server (domain2.com, domain3.com), but the
    need is only for incoming emails to 1 domain, not all the domains.

  • Prime Infrastructure 1.4 e-mail from virtual domains

    Hi
    Is there any way in PI 1.4 to configure e-mail alerts to be sent to different recipients for different virtual domains.  We have several large sites, each with their own controllers and AP's (16 controllers & 4000+ AP's) and I'd like to be able to set things up so that the admin for each site gets any alerts for that site e-mailed only to them. The only way I can find to group the site devices is to put them in a virtual domain (subordinate to ROOT-DOMAIN) but e-mail recipients only seem to be configurable from ROOT ?
    So would have:
    Site A, controller A & AP's, alerts e-mailed to Admin_A
    Site B, Controller B & AP's, alerts e-mailed to Admin B etc.
    Thanks
    Alan

    This is exacly what I am trying to do as well Kilravock. We have a distributed management model where I would like to have the email alerts sent to the admins for each domain. 
    If someone knows how to perfom this I would love to hear how to do it because I can't find instructions in any of the Ciso documentation.
    Any insight would be apreciated!
    -Thanks in advance

  • Only 1 Virtual domain per user in Cisco Prime Infrastructure ?

    Hello,
    I wanted to add several Virtual Domains in Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.3 (the UI allows it). But then I observe that the user can only see the first Virtual Domain (the first par alphabetical order).
    Is it normal (by design), or is it a bug, or is there something that understand wrong ?
    Many thanks in advance,
    Best regards,
    David

    A user can have multiple virtual domain assigned , but only one is active at login.
    Anyway the user can change the current virtual domain using the virtual domain drop-down list at the right top of the page.

  • Prime Infrastructure 2.0 - Email alert when device is unreachable

    Is there a way for PI to send email alerts when a device becomes unreachable? I know there are alerts when an interface goes down, but I can't find how to get prime to alert me ONLY when a device becomes unreachable.
    Does anyone know how to do this? I can't believe such a simple feature would be so difficult to configure...

    PI also generates an event when it finds unreachable device. An event is an occurrence or detection of some condition in or around the network. An event is a distinct incident that occurs at a specific point in time. Examples of events include:
    Port status change
    Device reset
    Device becomes unreachable by the management station
    You can view the list of events using the Event Browser.
    Choose Operate > Alarms & Events , then click Events to access the Events Browser page.
    Prime Infrastructure discovers events by automatically polling devices and discovering changes; for example, device unreachable.
    For more details on Events, please check here :

  • Prime Infrastructure 2.0 email alerts with hostname?

    I have configured email alerts however in the message it shows up with the IP address instead of hostname.
    Is there a way to configure the hostname to be added? Custom text or adding the switch differently (added by direct IP search)?
    Thanks,
    Chris

    I see now, this is a poor carry over from NCS. The option that says include "controller" in email does provide the switch hostname. Hopefully by version 3.0 they will have all the wireless naming fixed when it applies to converged.
    Thanks Rob!

  • Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.1 not send email alert when link down

    Hello everyone
     I use PI to monitor 1 switch and 1 firewall . When a link up/down on switch , PI immediately sends an email alert .
    But when a link up/down on FW , PI not send any email alert . PI knows link up/down on a FW is a critical alarm ( it's show up on "Alarm Browser") , but not send email.
    I enable all SNMP trap on FW , i tested that event on SolarWinds and it immediately sends an email alert . So there is no problem about FW config

    Causes of Errdisable
    This feature was first implemented to handle special collision situations in which the switch detected excessive or late collisions on a port. Excessive collisions occur when a frame is dropped because the switch encounters 16 collisions in a row. Late collisions occur after every device on the wire should have recognized that the wire was in use. Possible causes of these types of errors include:
    A cable that is out of specification (either too long, the wrong type, or defective)
    A bad network interface card (NIC) card (with physical problems or driver problems)
    A port duplex misconfiguration
    A port duplex misconfiguration is a common cause of the errors because of failures to negotiate the speed and duplex properly between two directly connected devices (for example, a NIC that connects to a switch). Only half-duplex connections should ever have collisions in a LAN. Because of the carrier sense multiple access (CSMA) nature of Ethernet, collisions are normal for half duplex, as long as the collisions do not exceed a small percentage of traffic.
    There are various reasons for the interface to go into errdisable. The reason can be:
    Duplex mismatch
    Port channel misconfiguration
    BPDU guard violation
    UniDirectional Link Detection (UDLD) condition
    Late-collision detection
    Link-flap detection
    Security violation
    Port Aggregation Protocol (PAgP) flap
    Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) guard
    DHCP snooping rate-limit
    Incorrect GBIC / Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) module or cable
    Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) inspection
    Inline power
    Note: Error-disable detection is enabled for all of these reasons by default. In order to disable error-disable detection, use the no errdisable detect cause command. The show errdisable detect command displays the error-disable detection status.

  • Prime Infrastructure 2.0 - Alert on Switch Config Change

    We are in the process of testing out Prime Infrastructure 2.0, is there a way to get an alert when a device's configuration has changed, and send out what has changed in email? I have scheduled Config Archiving for all of my devices, and i can see the config differences when a changes is made in the Prime GUI, but we currently use Kiwi CatTools to send out emails that show what devices had configuration changes and what those changes were, it would be nice if Prime would do that so we could do away with that service. I have looked through all of the reports but do not see anything.

    Hi,
    I know this feature is there is LMS ,where you can configure the AUTOMATED Action based on Syslogs to get an Alert for config change or any other changes ,however I do not see this option available in PI  2.0.
    Syslogs are not compltely supported in 2.0 but in PI 2.1 we should have the complete support for syslogs.
    Thanks-
