How to send email notifications when an illegal computer is detected

When an illegal computer is detected, QLM creates a record of that detection in the system. You can read more about illegal computers here.

This article describes 2 approaches to deal with illegal computers:

Send yourself (the vendor) an email notification when an illegal computer is detected
Send the customer a notification when an illegal computer is detected.

Create a search

Launch the QLM Management Console
Go to the Manage Keys tab
Click the Search drop down and select Edit searches
Create a new search as follows (the search should already exist):
- Name: Alert Illegal Computer
- Table: Illegal Computers
- SQL: LastAccessedDate > [date] and LastAccessedDate > '2024-04-29 4:00 PM' (the hard coded date here is required to avoid sending an email to all customers already in the Illegal Computers table - change to hard coded date to today's date)

Create a Scheduled Task

With the setup above, you will receive a daily report of all detected illegal computers.
