A standard email notification rule specifies that an email message is to be sent if a log message is generated that matches certain criteria.

To create a standard email notification rule:

• Click the Settings tab at the top right of the screen. In the Settings screen, click E-mail Notification.
• Click the Notification Rules tab.
• Click Add a Rule.
• In the Edit Rule screen, select Standard Rule.

The Standard Rule screen appears:

• From the Source Type list box, select [All Entries], [Service Entries] (entries generated by the Iguana web service), Channel (entries generated by a specific channel), or Group (entries generated by any channel in a channel group).
• If you select Channel, the Channel list box appears. From this list box, select a channel name.
• If you select Group, the Group list box appears. From this list box, select a channel group. (See Channel Groups for details on how to create a channel group.)
• From the Type list box, select the type of log message to match. (For more information on log message types, see Types of Log Messages.)
• In the Text Query field, type the text to be matched by this notification rule. (See Specifying Match Criteria In Standard Rule Text Queries for more details on what you can type into this field.)
• In the Limit of Messages Sent field, specify the number of notification email messages that can be sent per hour. This number can be no larger than 60.
• Select the Include Log Entry Text in Email Message check box if you want to include the log entry text in the notification email message.

	You should only include log entry text in an notification email message if you are certain that the log entries contain no confidential information.

• From the Recipients list box, select one or more roles or users that will receive this email notification:

	A user will only appear in the Recipients list box if an email address has been specified for that user.

• If you have added a role or user to the recipient list and want to remove it, click the Remove link next to its name.
• Click Save Changes to create the email notification rule.

The rule you have created is now displayed in the Email Notification screen:

From this screen, click Edit to edit the email notification rule (which returns you to the Email Notification Rule screen shown above) or click Remove to remove the rule. Click Find matching log entries to display a list of all existing log messages that match this rule.

	New Feature in Iguana 4.1 The Find matching log entries link is new in Iguana 4.1. It enables you to check whether your email notification rule matches the log entries that you expect it to match.

	In an email notification rule, you can click the name of any role or user in the Recipients list to edit information for that role or user.
