You can configure Notification Parsing so that Incidents can be automatically logged from the e-mail messages received from a configured Mailbox (see: Configuring Mailbox). This is more suitable where one or more system Alert e-mails keep flowing into the mailbox regarding the server status or storage device status, and so on. For more information about E-mail Parsing, see E-mail Parsing.

To configure Notification Parser:

Select Admin > Advanced > Notifications > Notification Parser.
On the NOTIFICATION PARSER page, click ADD NEW on the ACTIONS panel. The following page is displayed.
