Notification

The Notification node is where email notifications are configured. Emails can be sent from the Enterprise Auditor Console for a variety of purposes: reports on collected data, change detection alerts, conformance analysis notification, and more.

Global Settings Notification page

To enable notifications from the Enterprise Auditor Console, a mail server must be configured for Enterprise Auditor to employ for sending emails.

Enterprise Auditor supports authentication and encryption when sending email notifications. Notifications can be configured based on the requirements of an organizations mail environment.

Enable Enterprise Auditor notifications by configuring the Mail Server and Sender Information. It is recommended to send a test email to yourself after initial configuration to ensure proper settings. See the Test Notification Settings topic for additional information.

The Cancel and Save buttons are in the lower-right corner of the Notification view. These buttons become enabled when modifications are made to the Notification global setting. Whenever changes are made at the global level, click Save and then OK to confirm the changes. Otherwise, click Cancel if no changes were intended.
