Dell OMSA Email Alerts

This PowerShell script will configure OMSA to send out emails when an alert is generated.

It will include the following:

  • System information from omreport chassis info
  • Storage information from omreport storage vdisk
  • Attach the system alert log from omreport system alertlog

This script is based on this script by Paul Murana.

How to use

  • Place the OMAlert.ps1 in a folder on your system, mine is under C:\Scripts\.
  • Edit the variables under $mailArgs to match your settings:

    ⚠️ It's best to use an encrypted file instead of a plaintext password in a script, the below is just a simple example.

    # Default mail arguments
$mailArgs = @{
To = "[email protected]"
From = "[email protected]"
Credential = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential ("[email protected]", ("password" | ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText -Force ))
SmtpServer = "smtp.example.com"
Port = "587"
UseSsl = $true
}

Send a test email

  • Execute the script with the param testemail. 
    PS C:\Scripts> .\OMAlert.ps1 testemail

Configure OMSA

  • Execute the script with the param configure, this will both configure OMSA and create a bunch of .bat scripts in the same directory.

    These scripts are called by OMSA once an alert is generated.

    PS C:\Scripts> .\OMAlert.ps1 configure

You can test if the script did it's job by temporarily lowering the Temperature Threshold settings.

This should generate an alert and send out an email.
