Defining email notification

On the Email tab, perform the following steps:

1. Specify the SMTP server address. Contact your email administrator for the name or IP address of your email server. The SMTP server address length is limited to a maximum of 255 characters.
2. In From address, specify the sender's address that must appear on all email messages, which are sent when the email server receives a profile. Use a valid SMTP format address that is associated with a mailbox that you monitor. You may want to have a mailbox setup specifically for iStrobe. This email will receive all non-deliverable notifications and any other exceptions that may occur when an e-mail is sent. The From address length is limited to a maximum of 255 characters.
3. Select the required Host type.
   • If you select Default, CES installs with a Default host name that is used for generating links in emails that are sent from other BMC AMI Products for Web applications. If you do not want the Default host name, you can choose to configure a Custom host name.
   • If you select Custom, enter the Custom host name for generating links within the email that point to Strobe reports.
     You can configure the email server to automatically include the CES port number by enabling the Use CES port number toggle switch. If you turn off this switch, you need to manually enter the host name and port number, in the format <CustomHost>:<port>.
     When the Use CES port number toggle switch is disabled, the following scenarios are applicable.
     • Custom host name with http protocol:
       • If the custom host name is entered with the protocol as http, then it will be used as is.
       • If the custom host name is entered without a protocol, then default protocol http will be used.
     • Custom host name with https protocol:
       • If the custom host name is entered without a protocol but with the default secure port (443), then the protocol will default to https.
       • If the secure port number is a number other than the default secure port, then you must enter the name with protocol https and a secure port number.
