Note:
urlPath (alarm address parameter) is used to construct the URL for the alarm information, which consists of the server address, port number, and the specific page path. The detailed explanation is as follows:
1. Server address and port number: http://localhost:4300 This means that the request will be sent to a server named "localhost" and accessed via port number "4300". When adding a new entry, the current server address and port will be automatically retrieved.
2. Page path: /#/alarm/ This path is fixed and points to the alarm confirmation page.
3. Specific path: {urlPath} This is a placeholder representing the specific alarm parameter path. When receiving an actual message, this placeholder will be replaced with the real alarm parameters.
Retry Count The alarm generates the number of retries after an email delivery failure.
Retry Delay(s) The delay time before retrying to send an email after a failed attempt.
