I am attempting to build an alert with Orion Alert Manager that will E-Mail a Web Page. This is the first time I am attempting to use this "Action". I am not having any luck.
I am trying to create an alert in Alert Manager to E-Mail an Orion Web Page of a device that is in my Orion Netflow (NTA). Once this device gets close to its maximum circuit utilization, I want to email this web page showing the Top Talkers and Top Endpoints to the site manager so that he can deem if the traffic is legitimate or not. My trouble is that I cannot get the email to fire off at all. When I am setting up this alert, there is a field to include "Optional Web Server Authentication", I have tried with this field empty and with it populated, still no luck. The only thing I am seeing are Events showing up in my Orion Server under the "Event Viewer" stating that it was not able to send this email message.
Does anyone use this feature of "E-Mail a Web Page" with Orion Alert Manager and had success, I do understand this application very well, but am having a hard time understanding why this particular feature is failing... The alert shows up in my "Active Alerts" once triggered, but the Web Page is not being sent.
Here is what the error shows in my Event Viewer:
2012-11-13 12:05:22,667 [53] WARN All - Failure - Was unable to send email message to "brandon.#######@#######.com" <brandon.#######@#######.com>. Error Detail -

My Orion servers are all 2008 R2, I have my main Orion server, an additional poller and a seperate SQL box. I am fairly up to date with all of my code:
Orion Core 2011.2.2, APM 4.2.0 SP1, NCM 6.1, NPM 10.2.2, NTA 3.8.0, IVIM 1.2.0 © 1995-2011 All Rights Reserved
Thanks for any help you can offer,
Brandon
