HPE IMC – integration manual

Here we describe how to setup HPE IMC (Intelligent Management Center) with SMSEagle for SMS alerts and notifications.

Software suite for HPE Intelligent Management Software includes Intelligent Management Center tool, that allows to configure email alerts and actions on these alerts.

SMSEagle is an offline hardware SMS gateway. Therefore no external connection to 3rd party system is required. All notifications are generated on-premise and sent directly to a cellular network. This solution can be used in secure installations without Internet access.

SMSEagle Setup

This integration will use Email To SMS plugin (see details: Email To SMS plugin). This plugin is included in each version of SMSEagle device.

1. Enable Email2SMS plugin in SMSEagle web-gui
