Step 3: Configure Miranda as a Windows service Move the file MimCmd.exe from the Miranda installation directory to the \Notifications\EXE subfolder of your PRTG program directory.You can choose any directory, for example C:\Miranda IM Copy the Miranda IM directory to the system that is running your PRTG core server.Note: If you run a cluster, you need to perform the actions in this step on every single node to make sure that notifications are also available in case the Master Node fails. Step 2: Move Miranda to PRTG server system To check, make sure the file CmdLine.dll is in the \Plugins subfolder after extraction. Download the Command Line plugin and extract it to your Miranda installation directory.Write down the possible recipients' ICQ numbers-you will need them later.Note: Although this is an example for ICQ, you can add any other account using one of the supported protocols, for example Jabber, MSN, or others. Add all future recipients of notifications to this account's contact list and test if messages are received on the other side. In Miranda IM, set up an ICQ account dedicated to sending messages for PRTG (sign up for a new one, if necessary).Download Miranda IM and install it on your computer in Portable Mode (this is an option during setup), so you can move it to your PRTG server later on.Known issue: The described setup might not work with Windows Server 2012. This article will show an example of how to send notifications to an ICQ account, using a combination of the following programs: Using the Execute Program notifications option of PRTG, you can use an instant messenger with command line capabilities to send messages via virtually any instant messaging protocol. Use custom notifications to send instant messages Note that we cannot provide guarantees that the approach below still works with the involved external tools.
