Description
Mail Alerting is used for sending important events via email.
Properties
Name Specifies a symbolic name for the log receiver.
(Identifier)
IPAddress IP address or DNS name of an SMTP server that
accepts emails for the given address(es).
Port TCP port of the SMTP server. Changing it to 465 will
NOT make the connection encrypted - it will simply
not work. (Default: 25)
Recipient Who to send email to. To send to multiple
recipients, configure an alias (aka mailing list) on
the server and send to that.
Sender The sender email address to use for log event
emails.
Identity Customizes how the system identifies itself to the
SMTP server when issuing the EHLO command.
Preferrably, this should be the DNS name of the
sending interface, as the server may be configured
to require it. By default, the numeric IP address of
the sending interface is used. (Optional)
XMailer Specifies a custom X-Mailer email header string.
The X-Mailer header field is typically used to
identify the name and version number of the
software that generated the email. (Optional)
Subject The email Subject to use for log event emails.
Activation Select how events trigger an alert. (Default:
SingleEvent)
EventCountThreshold How many events are required to trigger the alert?.
(Default: 10)
EventCountPeriod How far back in time to look when counting
events. Events that were included in a previous
email are not counted again. (Default: 60)
KeepCollectingPeriod To provide context in the alert email, more events
can be collected for a short time and included in
the email. Set to 0 to not collect and send as soon
as possible. (Default: 1)
MinTimeBetweenEmail Emails will never be sent more often than this.
Additional alerts will be sent in the next email.
(Default: 30)
SendReportEmails Periodically send report emails containing events
