This option enables you to specify when to send e-mail notifications about alerts which occurred on
the managed machine and to select the types of alerts to send.

options
> E-mail settings (p. 206).

The preset is: Disabled.

To configure alert notifications

As soon as an alert appears – to send a notification every time a new alert occurs.
Click Select the types of alerts... to specify the types of alerts to send notifications about.

On schedule send notification about all current alerts – to send a cumulative alert
notification including all alerts which occurred over a time interval you specify.
Click Select the types of alerts... to specify the types of alerts to send notifications about.

11.6.5 Event tracing

It is possible to duplicate log events generated by the agent(s), operating on the managed machine,
in the Application Event Log of Windows; or send the events to the specified SNMP managers. If you
do not modify the event tracing options anywhere except for here, your settings will be effective for
each local backup plan and each task created on the machine.

You can override the settings set here, exclusively for the events occurred during backup or during
recovery (see Default backup and recovery options.) In this case, the settings set here will be
effective for operations other than backup and recovery, such as archive validation or cleanup.

You can further override the settings set in the default backup and recovery options, when creating a
backup plan or a recovery task. The settings you obtain in this case will be plan-specific or
task-specific.

11.6.5.1 SNMP notifications

This option is effective for both Windows and Linux operating systems.
