Configuring email notification
You configure email notification for events and failures in the under Administration > System Settings: Email. By default, email addresses aren’t specified for event and failure notification. These configuration options are available under Email Notification:
SMTP Server
Specifies the SMTP server. For this feature to work, you need external DNS and access for SMTP traffic. The SCC doesn’t support specifying an SMTP server using IPv6 addresses. To send email over IPv6, use the email server’s hostname instead. Ensure you provide a valid SMTP server so users receive email notifications for events and failures.
SMTP Port
Specifies the port number for the SMTP server. Typically, you don’t need to change the default port 25.
Max Email Attachment Size (MB)
Specifies the maximum size of email attachment allowed. The default is 15 MB.
Report Events via Email

• Admission control
• CPU utilization (rising threshold, reset threshold)
• Temperature (rising threshold, reset threshold)
• Data store wrap frequency
• Domain authentication alert
• Network interface duplex errors
• Network interface link errors
• Fan error
• Flash error
• Hardware error
• IPMI
• Licensing

• Network bypass
• NFSv2/v4 alarm
• Non-SSL servers detected on upgrade
• Optimization service (general service status, optimization service)
• Extended memory paging activity
• Secure vault
• System disk full
• Software version mismatch
• Storage profile switch failed
• TCP Stop Trigger scan has started
• Asymmetric routes
• Expiring SSL certificates
• SSL peering certificate SCEP automatic reenrollment
• Connection forwarding (ACK time-out, failure, lost EOS, lost ERR, keepalive time-out, latency exceeded, read info time-out)
• Prepopulation or Proxy File Service
• VSP general alarm
• Storage profile switch failed
• TCP Stop Trigger scan has started
• Asymmetric routes
• Expiring SSL certificates
• SSL peering certificate SCEP automatic reenrollment
• Connection forwarding (ACK time-out, failure, lost EOS, lost ERR, keepalive time-out, latency exceeded, read info time-out)
• Prepopulation or Proxy File Service

Report Failures via Email
Reports alarm failures through email. Specify a list of email addresses to receive the notification messages. Separate addresses by spaces, semicolons, commas, or vertical bars. These alarms are failures:
• Data store corruption
• System details report
• Domain join error
• RAID
• Optimization service - unexpected halt
• Critical temperature
• Disk error
• SSD wear warning
Override Default Sender’s Address
Configures the SMTP protocol to send error or event messages. Provide a list of email addresses to receive notifications, separating them with commas. You can also set the outgoing email address that clients will see. By default, this address is do-not-reply@hostname.domain. If no domain is specified, it will default to do-not-reply@hostname. You can adjust the host and domain settings under Networking > Networking: Host Settings.
Report Failures to Technical Support
Reports serious failures such as system crashes to Support. We recommend that you activate this feature so that problems are promptly corrected. This option doesn’t automatically report a disk drive failure. In the event of a disk drive failure, contact Support at support@riverbed.com.
