Configuring email recipients

Prev Next

The same users can receive both system event notifications and scheduled reports. If you use the CLI to configure them, you must use two separate sets of CLI commands.

Each new recipient will receive detailed notifications for all enabled system health check events. You can customize the notifications for individual users, and configure which specific events trigger notifications. (See Configuring system events for details.)

Important

If you use the CLI to configure a scheduled report recipient, the change will not be reflected in the Web UI. For example:

  • You add analyst@acme.com using the report email recipient analyst@acme.com CLI command. That recipient will be listed in the show report email command output, but will not be added to the recipient list on the Email Settings page in the Web UI.

  • The recipient list on the Email Settings page includes admin@acme.com, but the Report checkbox is not selected. You then add that recipient using the report email recipient admin@acme.com CLI command. The Report checkbox will still not be selected on the Email Settings page.

If you use the Web UI to add an email recipient, the recipient will be enabled to receive both system event notifications and scheduled reports. However, if you use the email notify recipient CLI command to add this recipient, the recipient will receive only system event notifications, not scheduled reports (the Report check box will be cleared on the Email Settings page).
