Figure 7.8 – Mail Settings
The Mail Settings section contains the following settings:
˽ Mail Server Address – Allows you to enter the host name or IP address of a valid mail
server accessible from the server’s network (visible on the network to the Collector
servers) that can be used to send outgoing emails.
˽ Return Address – Allows you to enter the return address that will be used in all email
notifications. EXAMPLE: [email protected]
˽ User Name – Allows you to enter a username. Some mail servers require a username
as a login each time an email is sent.
˽ SMTP Port – Allows you to enter the port number for a SMTP mail server.
˽ Use SSL – Allows you to toggle SSL encryption (technically this is the SMTP START-
TLS secure mail extension, but is commonly referred to as SSL). Some mail servers
require secure connections.
˽ Password – If the mail server requires a password in conjunction with a username to
log in, use the Check to set password checkbox to set a password.
˽ Test Mail Settings – Allows you to send a test email message.
Click the Save button to apply the changes made.
Status Settings
Collector provides an advanced method of showing users the reliability of each sensor by
keeping track of the most recent 100 attempts to connect to each sensor (see Figure 7.9).
Each attempt results in either success or failure. When the number of failures crosses the
status thresholds, the status for the sensor changes from Success to Warning or Error.
