CHAPTER 4 121
Using F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange
Figure 4-4 The Addresses dialog for specifying alert recipients
By default, information-level and warning-level alerts are not sent to
F-Secure Policy Manager console and are not displayed for the user,
either. These lower priority alerts and notifications can be very useful for
troubleshooting, but enabling their alerting will substantially increase the
number of transmitted alerts. If you have a large domain structure,
specifying very strict alert-forwarding rules may flood F-Secure Policy
Manager console with alerts.
In addition, you can configure the alert target by setting the policy
variables under target-specific branches. For example,
F-Secure
Management Agent / Settings / Alerting / F-Secure Policy Manager
Console / Retry Send Interval
specifies how often a host will attempt to
send alerts to F-Secure Policy Manager console if previous attempts have
failed.
Since F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange is a fundamental part of
the network, more alerts will probably be forwarded from it to F-Secure
Policy Manager than from other hosts.
