Setting up notification channels

Channel drivers enable Venafi Trust Protection Platform™ to log system events and provide event notification. Channel drivers, in turn, are configured and managed through Channel objects in the Logging tree.

Channel objects store the information the Venafi Log server needs to use a certain channel. For example, MS SQL Channel objects include the IP address or hostname of the MS SQL database server, a username and password to connect to the server, the database and table names, and other relevant information. SMTP Channel objects, on the other hand, include the IP address or hostname of the SMTP server, a username and password, and message information (the message recipients, sender, subject, and body).
