2. Click on New Event Handler from the Db menu
3. Event Tab
– Events can be any type
– Events must be one of these severities: FATAL! And/or Failure, hell, send
them all of them just to mess with the Admins
– Events can have any message

Keep in Mind

Use their personal emails :-)

them all and publish a monthly outage report
