Is there a probe that will accept incoming e-mail requests that could generate an event?

  • 1.  Is there a probe that will accept incoming e-mail requests that could generate an event?

    I would like an alarm show in the nas based on an e-mail recieved.

    I have a system that can send an e-mail about an event or process. I want to capture this e-mail, and have an alarm generated with the information in the body of the e-mail.

    There was a probe named email2alarm that was unsupported and I believe contributed by a third party - the author is listed as Adrian Spittles.

     

    Otherwise, no, not directly.

     

    Your fallback would be to script something that retrieved the email, parsed the content, then used nimalarm (or the API) to create the alarm. Not elegant but it can work.
