Post to a newsgroup (NNTP)

Posts a message to a newsgroup used by your organization. The newsgroup must use Network News Transfer Protocol (NNTP) to send and receive information.

Requirements
Newsgroup service must be available.
Note: You cannot use this action to post a message to a secure news server.
Result
The specified message is posted to the newsgroup.
Example
This action can be useful as an additional logging mechanism outside of IBM® Systems Director. Use this event action when you want to send information to a newsgroup after a specified event is generated. The message might notify members of a technical support organization when a critical server is having problems.
Note: You can use event-data-substitution variables to include event data information into the newsgroup message. For more information, see "Event-data-substitution variables."
