Hello,

Is it possible to configure SMS notifications for one service for one existing user who is already contact for other services for which he doesnt want sms notifications? I have the feeling once you enable sms notifications for example for critical services, this is a global setting resulting in the user getting sms alerts for all service that are changing into a critical state?

Notifications are per user/contact/contact group <-> service/host

How to Configure Email And Text Notifications

Avandemore,

That is not an answer to my question... I know notifications are per user etc... But I need to get sms'es for one service and not for all services...

Check the screenshot I attached. As selecting "service critical" results in the user getting notifications for all critical service he was contact for.... This is not what I need. user need to be contacted per sms for one service only (mailflow test). Other service going critical have to result in email ntoifications.

Do you understand what I mean?

I understand your meaning but that doesn't change how notifications <-> users work. If you want that level of granularity the only current option would be to create another user only associated with that service/transport mechanism.

I can put in a Feature Request for more options if you like.

Seems like a bit weird that I would have to create two XI users for each user. As we don't really want sms notificaitons for all critical service, only for this one service which monitors the mailflow, I do think a feature request would be a good addition.

FR 10148 has been created for this. You can inquire on the forums or via ticket on its status. Please note a FR is at the discretion of the developers.

Thanks! W'll make an extra user for ,SMS users for now.. Please close.
