# Configure notification defaults

A notification is a type of action that generates and distributes a message when a service policy constraint is triggered. For example, you can create a policy that generates an SNMP trap (notification) when a WebLogic Server JDBC data source fails to connect to its underlying database. For more information about notifications, see About Notifications.

To save time when creating policies that generate notifications, specify default values for each type of notification:

1. At the top of the LOC Administration Console, click the Administration tab.
2. In the Controller portlet, click the Default Notification Configuration link.
3. In the Default Notifications portlet, modify the default values as required for each notification type. You can configure defaults for the following four types of notifications:
   - SMTP notifications
   - JMS notifications
   - JMX notifications
   - SNMP notifications
4. Select the Enabled check boxes for those notifications you want to enable.
5. Click Save.
