Alerts
System events such as a fan failure, a hard disk failure, a quota violation, or low disk space
generate email alert messages, if you provide an email address for alert notices. Your
storage system divides system events into two categories, mandatory and optional.
Mandatory events always generate email alert messages. You can control which optional
system events generate email alert messages.
Email Alert Contacts
To receive an email message alerting you if a system event that requires your attention
occurs, provide an email address for alert messages. You can use an email address that is
accessible from a smartphone to help you monitor your ReadyNAS system when you are
away from it.
To manage alert email contacts:
1.
Select Configure > System. Click the Settings tab next to the Overview tab, and then
click Alerts to expand that section.
2.
In the Alert Contact Email Address field, enter an email address.
You can also edit an existing alert contact or delete it by clearing the field.
3.
From the Email Account Provider drop-down menu, select your email service provider.
If you select the internal email service provider option, your ReadyNAS system acts as a
mail transfer agent (MTA). This setting works well in many corporate environments.
4.
(Optional) If your email service provider is not listed, expand the Advanced Options section
and customize the outgoing mail server (STMP) settings for your provider.
5.
(Optional) Enter the details for your email service provider.
This information is often available on the Internet, or you can contact your email service
provider for the information.
6.
(Optional) To determine if you configured the contact information correctly, click the Send
Test Message button.
If you do not receive the test message, change the settings. For example, if you selected
Internal as your email provider and the test message is not delivered, select Custom
instead and configure the advanced options.
7.
Click the Apply button.
