Configuring and Activating Update Failure and Attack Alerts

You can configure the UTM to send an e-mail alert when a failure, malware (outbreak) attack, or
Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) (outbreak) attack occurs. Five types of alerts are supported:
• Update Failure Alert. Sent when an attempt to update any component such as a pattern file or
scan engine firmware fails.
• Malware Alert. Sent when the UTM detects a malware threat.
• Malware Outbreak Alert. Sent when the malware outbreak criteria that you have configured
are reached or exceeded. Outbreak criteria are based on the number of malware threats
detected within a specified period of time.
• IPS Alert. Sent when the UTM detects an attack.
• IPS Outbreak Alert. Sent when the IPS outbreak criteria that you have configured are
reached or exceeded. Outbreak criteria are based on the number of IPS attacks detected within
a specified period of time.
To configure and activate the e-mail alerts:
1. Select Monitoring > Logs & Reports from the menu. The Logs & Reports submenu tabs
appear, with the Email and Syslog screen in view.
2. Click the Alerts submenu tab. The Alerts screen displays
