KUMA notifications

Standard notifications

KUMA can be configured to send email notifications using an SMTP server. To do so, configure a connection to an SMTP server and select the Receive email notifications check box for users who should receive notifications.

KUMA automatically notifies users about the following events:

• A report was created (the users listed in the report template receive a notification).
• An alert was created (all users receive a notification).
• An alert was assigned to a user (the user to whom the alert was assigned receives a notification).
• A task was performed (the users who created the task receive a notification).
• New resource packages are available. They can be obtained by updating the KUMA repository (the users whose email address is specified in the task settings are notified).

Custom notifications

Instead of the standard KUMA notifications about the alert generation, you can send notifications based on custom templates. To configure custom notifications instead of standard notifications, take the following steps:

• Create an email template.
• Create a notification rule that specifies the correlation rules and email addresses.

When an alert is created based on the selected correlation rules, notifications created based on custom email templates will be sent to the specified email addresses. Standard KUMA notifications about the same event will not be sent to the specified addresses.
