Skip, I remember this being a pain to setup and test initially. But we did finally get it to work. Directions below are basic and you're already past some of these steps, but I'm including them if others want to follow along.
Using an ID with SYSPROG permissions: Single Click on "HMC Management", left side of screen. On the right side of the screen locate icon "Monitor System Events" and single click. This opens a new window for the "Event Monitor Summary" You'll want to fill in your SMTP server, SMTP port & Notification delay(seconds). Select any of the monitors "zProcessors" then single click on "Edit..." button. This will open a new window "Event Monitor Editor" We have ours set to Hardware Messages for all of the target zProcessors. Our pattern is set to ".*# any hardware message" Our schedule is set to: - All days (Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday & Saturday) Our notification list - This is where you type in the email addresses of the persons who get notified. The emails addresses are separated by a single space. Finally click "OK" to save what was entered. This brings you back to the "Event Monitor Summary" dialog which from here you can click on "Test..." to test the "Test Event Generator" Set what you want to test and then "Run Test..." Not sure this will assist as it sounds like you may have another issue.

Unfortunately we can’t figure how to get beyond Square 1. It goes like this. On HMC task list, select Monitor System Events, which shows this list of 'permitted objects': Adapters, BladeCenters, Blades, Ensemble, HMC Optical Network, Managed VM, Partitions, Systems, Virtual Servers, Workloads, None. Up comes a screen entitled Event Monitor Summary, which displays this list of monitors: Accelerator Crypto HW Msg Example Network OS Msg Example Partition Processor (CPU) Security Log Example State Change Example Storage Each item is selectable, but no matter which one we select with Add or Edit, we get this message: There are no defined objects to monitor for the event type of the selected monitor. Select a monitor with a different event type or define an object that can be monitored for the event type of the selected monitor. ACT04318 We have poked around--including Google searches--until our fingers are calloused, but we cannot find out how to 'define an object'. The particular monitor we're interested in is Processor (CPU), but the missing object issue seems to affect all listed options. Has anyone delved into this arena? . .
