Setting up ongoing event notifications

To set up ongoing event notifications

On the Service Management Portal computer, edit c:\inetpub\MgmtSvc-AdminAPI\web.config to add the following notificationSubscriber element for Cloud Cruiser:

<notificationSubscriber name="cloudcruiser" enabled="true" notificationEndpoint="http://<ccServerURL>/rest/v1/usage/asfws/" notificationAuthenticationMode="Basic" notificationUsername="<username>" notificationPassword="<password>"/>

The username and password you provide must be for a Cloud Cruiser user who has the Post Usage Data role.

For example, your web.config file might look like the following:

<configuration>
  <configSections>
    <section name="unity" type="Microsoft.Practices.Unity.Configuration.UnityConfigurationSection, Microsoft.Practices.Unity.Configuration"/>
    <section name="notificationStore" type="Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Server.Management.Core.Configuration.NotificationStoreConfigurationSection, Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Server.Management.Core"/>
  </configSections>
  <unity xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/practices/2010/unity">
    <container>
      <register type="Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Server.Management.Core.IDependencyInjectionFactory, Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Server.Management.Core" mapTo="Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Server.Management.Core.ServerDependencyInjectionFactory, Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Server.Management.Core"/>
    </container>
  </unity>
  <notificationStore>
    <notificationSubscribers>
      <notificationSubscriber name="cloudcruiser" enabled="true" notificationEndpoint="http://financeserver:8080/rest/v1/usage/asfws/" notificationAuthenticationMode="Basic" notificationUsername="RESTuser" notificationPassword="eh4T6k$p"/>
    </notificationSubscribers>
  </notificationStore>
  ...
</configuration>
