Configuring Automatic Email Notifications
The GigaVUE H Series node provides powerful email notification capabilities,
automatically sending emails to specified addresses when any of a wide variety of
events take place on the node. Gigamon strongly recommends that you configure this
feature so you have immediate visibility of events affecting node health.
You configure automatic email notifications with the email command and its
arguments. Start by making sure the CLI is in Configure mode. If the (config) entry
appears in the system prompt, you are in Configure mode. If not, use the enable and
configure terminal commands sequentially to change to Configure mode. Then,
configure email notifications as follows:
Description Command
First, use the email mailhub command to specify the mail
server to use for notification emails. In this example, we are
using the email server named
smtp.emailsrvr.com . You
could also supply an IP address instead of a hostname.
(config) # email mailhub smtp.emailsrvr.com
Next, use the email auth command to supply the email
account username and password. In this example, we are
using
alerts@mycompany.com with a password of
mypassword123 .
(config) # email auth username alerts@mycompany.com
(config) # email auth password mypassword123
Now that we have set up the account to use, we will turn on
email authentication.
(config) # email auth enable
Now that we have configured the settings that let the node
send emails, set up who to send them to and when to send
them. Use
email notify recipient to configure the
destinations for event notification emails. You can specify
multiple destinations separated by commas with no spaces.
(config) # email notify recipient
cday@mycompany.com,mfelton@mycompany.com
