TIP
Do not use your personal email address, which would unnecessarily expose your personal email
login credentials. Use a separate email account instead. Also be aware that many email accounts
keep a copy of all sent messages by default. Anyone with access to this email account has access
to the sent messages. Review your email settings to ensure that they are appropriate for the
privacy policy of your business.
To configure the AP to send email alerts:
STEP 1
Select Administration > Email Alert in the navigation pane.
STEP 2
In the Global Configuration area, configure these parameters:
•
Administrative Mode—Choose to enable the email alert feature globally.
•
From Email Address—Enter the address to show as the sender of the email. The address
is a 255 character string with only printable characters. No address is configured by
default.
•
Log Duration—Choose the frequency at which scheduled messages are sent. The range
is from 30 to 1440 minutes. The default is 30 minutes.
•
Scheduled Message Severity—Log messages of this severity level or higher are
grouped and sent to the configuration email address at the frequency specified by the
Log Duration. Select from these values: None, Emergency, Alert, Critical, Error,
Warning, Notice, Info, and Debug. If set to None, then no scheduled severity messages
are sent. The default severity is Warning.
•
Urgent Message Severity—Log messages of this severity level or higher are sent to the
configured email address immediately. Select from these values: None, Emergency,
Alert, Critical, Error, Warning, Notice, Info, and Debug. If set to None, then no urgent
severity messages are sent. The default is Alert.
STEP 3
In the Mail Server Configuration area, configure these parameters:
•
Server IPv4 Address/Name—Enter the IP address or hostname of the outgoing SMTP
server. (You can check with your email provider for the hostname.) The server address
must be a valid IPv4 address or hostname. The IPv4 address should be in a form similar
to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (192.0.2.10).
A hostname can consist of one or more labels, which are sets of up to 63 alphanumeric
characters. If a hostname includes multiple labels, each is separated by a period (.). The
entire series of labels and periods can be up to 253 characters long.
