Modifying local database connection settings
You can view system events related to the Rapid Recovery Core on the Events page. The Rapid Recovery Core
stores this transactional information in a MongoDB service database. By default, this database is installed locally
on the Core machine, and the hostname in the database connection settings defaults to localhost. In this situation,
the loopback interface bypasses local network interface hardware, and database credentials are not required.
Optionally, to increase security, you can explicitly specify database credentials (a user name and password) for
the MongoDB database used by the Rapid Recovery Core.
NOTE:
For more information about viewing event information from the Rapid Recovery Core, see
Viewing events using tasks, alerts, and journal
. For information about database connection settings, see

alert notifications by email.
Information about configuring an SMTP email server is described in the topic
