How to configure Jenkins to send a notification email when a Slave goes offline?

Question

How to configure Jenkins to send a notification email when a Slave goes offline? I have a Windows Server in the Cloud. In there is a Jenkins Slave running that runs a nightly build, but sometimes the Slave goes offline and I need to know when it goes offline. How can I configure to Jenkins send me a email notification in this case?

Answer 1

In the slave configuration, there's an option "Notify when Node online status changes". If you check it, it will allow you to enter email addresses to be notified when the slave comes online/goes offline.

Answer 2

The setting that Lars mentions does not seem to come with a default Jenkins installation (v1.514). I see it with the Mail watcher plugin
