Remote Notification is an Add-In for the Microsoft Windows Home Server operating system. It is designed to forward the System Health Notifications from the Home Server to an email address. This can be particularly useful when configured to send to an email address that forwards an SMS (text message) to the user’s mobile phone.
Remote Notification should intercept all WHS notification events, even those issued by other 3rd party Add-ins, as long as those Add-ins use the documented WHS SDK to add notifications.
Remote Notification consists of a WHS Settings tab for configuration, a Windows Service for receiving the Notifications and sending the messages, a RemoteNotification.dat file for storing persistant data, a handful of registry entries, and this README file. Some debug information is written to the Application Event Log on the Server; you’ll need to use Remote Desktop to view these entries.
Features:
- Receive your Home Server health alerts in your email inbox
- Receive your Home Server health alerts via Twitter
- Receive your Home Server health alerts on your mobile phone
- Control the health alerts that are sent based upon severity level
- Control the health alerts that are sent with custom text filters
- Control when health alerts are sent with Notification Schedules (Do Not Disturb)
- Send the alerts to as many recipients as you want
- Easy setup of your email settings with SMTP Presets
- Be confident that your server is functioning properly with Daily Reports via email
- Monitor your Home Server health alerts via RSS Feed
- View your Home Server’s health alert history for alerts you may have missed
