Sending error reports

How to send an error report to an email address.

About this task

The send error report tool sends the error report as a compressed file attachment to an email address. To send the report, the appliance must have a connection to an SMTP server that accepts the message.

When failure notification uses an SMTP server, do not use this task unless you want to send the error report to a different email recipient.
