Systems / Framework / <INSTANCE> / Service / Notification - Sub-subsectionΒΆ

The Notification service provides a toolkit to contact people via email (eventually SMS etc.) to trigger some actions.

The original motivation for this is due to some sites restricting the sending of email but it is useful for e.g. crash reports to get to their destination.

Another use-case is for users to request an email notification for the completion of their jobs. When output data files are uploaded to the Grid, an email could be sent by default with the metadata of the file.

It can also be used to set alarms to be promptly forwarded to those subscribing to them.

Extra options required to configure the Notification system are:
