To configure an email server, from the Event Notifications page, select Email Server. Select Edit and then click Enable email notifications. Enter required details and when you are ready, click OK.

Email notifications can be customized by setting a custom header and footer for the emails and customizing the subject by selecting and combining from the following variables: &message, &messageId, &severity, &dateAndTime, &cluster, and &component.

Emails containing the quota reports and other events that are reported in the following functional areas are sent to the recipients:

You can specify the severity level of events and whether to send a report that contains a summary of the events received.

To create email recipients, select Email Recipients from the Event Notifications page, and then click Create Recipient.
