Configuring email alerts
You can configure the appliance to send emails with alerts about the hardware, the appliance services, and your application instances.
Note:
NetBackup alerts must be configured separately from NetBackup. See the topic "Setting up mailx email client" in the NetBackup Administrator's Guide, Volume I.
Use the following procedures to manage email alerts.
To configure or edit email alerts
- Sign in to the Flex Appliance Console as a security administrator and click the gear icon in the upper-right corner of the page, then click Email alerts.
- Click Configure or Edit.
- Fill in the required details and click Configure or Save.
Note:
If your appliance is configured with an IPv6 address and your SMTP server is configured with both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, you must do one of the following for alerts to work:
Enter the server IPv6 address instead of the hostname.
After alert configuration, add the server IPv6 address to the appliance Hosts file.
If you use DNS, modify your DNS configuration so that the server hostname only responds to the IPv6 address.
- To test the connection, wait at least 10 seconds and then click Test.
To disable or enable email alerts
- Sign in to the Flex Appliance Console as a security administrator and click the gear icon in the upper-right corner of the page, then click Email alerts.
- Click Disable or Enable.
