How to Set Up E-mail Alerts

Overview​

E-mail alerts in Endpoint Protector allow you to send specific logs and notifications to administrator e-mail addresses. This article explains how to configure the e-mail server settings and create alerts for various system events.

Instructions​

  1. To configure the e-mail server settings, navigate to the Endpoint Protector Console > System Configuration > System Settings.
  2. Select the E-mail Type.
  3. Enter the Hostname and SMTP port.
  4. Check Require SMTP Authentication, then enter the e-mail address and password.
  5. Select the Encryption type based on the port selected.
  6. To test the configuration, check Send test email to my account. A test e-mail will be sent to the administrator when the settings are saved.
