Configuring e-Alerts

Configure email alerts (e-Alerts) to enable the ztC Edge system to send email to system administrators whenever the system detects an event requiring administrator attention.

To enable e-Alerts

1. Click Preferences in the left-hand navigation panel, to open the Preference page.
2. Under Notification, click e-Alerts.

3. Click the Enable e-Alerts box. Boxes for specifying or selecting the following settings appear:

   • e-Alerts Language—Select a language from the pull-down menu.
   • List of Recipients (required)—Enter email addresses for all e-Alert recipients.
4. Click Save (or click Reset to restore the previously-saved values).

To generate a test alert

Click Generate Test Alert. The Stratus Redundant Linux software generates a test alert and sends a sample email with the subject "Test Alert" to all email recipients; SNMP sends traps to recipients of SNMP traps, if configured (see Configuring SNMP Settings); and Support Configuration sends a notification to your authorized Stratus service representative, if configured (see Configuring Remote Support Settings). Watch the Alerts History log (see the Alerts History Page) for delivery status.

You can also test e-Alerts by putting the secondary physical machine into maintenance mode (see Maintenance Mode), and then removing it from maintenance mode. Verify that you receive e-Alerts for both maintenance mode events.
