What email notifications are available?

CMM can be configured to send email notifications when certain events occur. These emails can be sent to either all users who can manage that particular server or a single, specified individual.


There are 5 events that can be configured to send notification emails:

  • State change due to schedule – If enabled, a notification is sent whenever the server turns on or off due to a Schedule that has been applied to the server.
  • State change due to user request via on-demand - If enabled, a notification is sent whenever the server turns on or off due to a web request when a user tries to access the server’s URL via their browser or when a user attempts to access the server using a server client.
  • State change due to user request via Cloud Machine Manager - If enabled, a notification is sent whenever the server turns on or off due to a user toggling the On / Off button on the Servers screen.
  • State change from outside of Cloud Machine Manager control - If enabled, a notification is sent whenever the server turns on or off outside of CMM’s control. The most likely cause is that someone has made a manual change via the Amazon console.
  • Deferred shutdown notifications – If enabled, notifications will be sent when a server that has deferred shutdown enabled is no longer in use. These emails allow users to delay the shutdown of that server beyond a pre-defined period. This option will automatically be enabled when deferred shutdown is enabled for that server.
