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 that did not trigger the rate threshold. The report will always be sent,
even if nothing occured. (Default: No)

- How often to send report emails. (Default: 24)
