Setting up notification channels

Channels provide the targets for where and how event logs are stored or transmitted to an external service. Channels are configured and managed in Venafi Configuration Console's Tools > Logging node.

Channels store the information the Venafi log server needs to deliver the log to the desired target. For example, MS SQL channel objects include the information needed to store messages in a database. SMTP channel objects include the information needed to send email messages with logged event information.
