3. Email Event Configuration
What This Chapter Does
It configures APM events to arrive by email. Unlike a messenger, a record remains and the alert can go to several people at once, which suits daily summaries and alerts that have to be kept.
What you need -- the SMTP server details for sending mail (address, port, account). Both an in-house mail server and an external mail service can be used.
Once configured -- mail is sent to the addresses you specify when an event occurs. Using the Summary Send Interval in the common settings, alerts can be gathered and sent as a summary rather than one at a time (see chapter 1).
Configuring Events in APM
In the OPENMARU APM console, go to Settings > Monitoring Settings and select the Event Channels
tab to configure the email event settings. Every channel setting is gathered on this one screen.
