The appliance can send email notifications about system health events, such as low disk space or a power supply failure, or a split brain condition in a High Availability (HA) deployment. It can also send scheduled reports containing malware analysis data, and email notifications triggered by malware alerts.
Health check notifications
The system email server can send notifications about system events and Central Management System HA events to configured recipients. You configure the email server and recipients for these events on the Email Settings page of the Web UI or by using the email notify CLI commands. You can also:
Specify whether each recipient should receive notifications for "fail" events, "info" events, or both "fail" and "info" events.
Specify whether each recipient should receive detailed or summarized notifications.
Enable or disable specific events from triggering notifications (except for Central Management System HA events).
For details, see:
Scheduled reports
Scheduled reports use the same email server and recipient list as the system events. If you use the CLI, you configure them using the report email commands instead of the email notify commands, as described in Configuring the mail server for scheduled reports using the CLI . You configure the report data and schedule on the Reports > Schedule page of the Web UI or by using the report schedule CLI commands. See Scheduling reports for managed appliances using the web UI for details.
Malware alert notifications
You configure email settings for malware alert notifications on the Notification Settings page of the Web UI or by using the fenotify email CLI commands. See Configuring event notifications for details.
