Configuring email-based alerts
To alert users through email, you must create at least one group of recipients, and configure the policies that the system follows when it sends email alerts to a group. To perform this procedure, you must have Operator-level access, or higher.
Before you begin
For the system to start sending email-based alerts, configure the SMTP settings to establish connection between this device and an SMTP server.
To configure email-based alerts
- In the Analyzer or Collector interface, go to Administration > General settings, and then click System alerts.
- In the Action menu for the Email alerts section, click Edit.
- In the Send email alerts to box, select an existing email notification group, or create a new one, to which you want to send system alerts.
- In the Send no more than 1 email per box, set the maximum frequency of email alerts.
- In the Maximum number of alerts per email box, set the maximum number of alerts per email message.
- In the Send email if alert level is at least list, set the minimum alert level, for example, Attention.
- Click Save.
To enable email-based alerts
By default, email alerts are enabled. If email alerts have been switched off, you must enable them before the device can send any email-based alerts.
- In the Analyzer or Collector interface, go to Administration > General settings, and click System alerts.
- In the Email alerts section, click the Enable switch.
