Create an email alert response

Email alert response configuration enables you to send email alerts about critical system events through configured mail relay hosts.

Before you begin

  • Ensure that Cloud-Delivered Firewall Management Center can reverse-resolve its own IP address. Some email servers use reverse DNS lookups to confirm the sender's identity and prevent spam and unauthorized access.

Follow these steps to create an email alert response:

Procedure

Step 1

Choose Administration > Alerts.

Step 2

From the Create Alert drop-down menu, choose Create Email Alert.

Step 3

Enter a Name for the alert response.

Step 4

In the To field, enter the email addresses to which you want to send alerts, separated by commas.

Step 5

In the From field, enter the email address that you want to be displayed as the sender of the alert.

Step 6

Next to Relay Host, verify that the listed mail server is the one that you want to use to send the alert.

If you want to change the email server, click Edit (edit icon).

Step 7
