messages generated by NetDefendOS. By enabling this option, these log messages will be included.
C. Email Alerts
NetDefendOS can be configured to send emails to up to three email addresses when log messages
are generated that are equal to or exceed a defined threshold. This threshold is referred to as the
sensitivity.
The sensitivity settings translate into the following values:
•
Very High
Min Repeat Delay: 600 seconds
Hold Time: 120
Log Threshold: 0
•
High
Min Repeat Delay: 600 seconds
Hold Time: 120
Log Threshold: 2
•
Medium
Min Repeat Delay: 600 seconds
Hold Time: 120
Log Threshold: 3
•
Low
Min Repeat Delay: 1800 seconds
Hold Time: 120
Log Threshold: 5
•
Very Low
Min Repeat Delay: 3600 seconds
Hold Time: 120
Log Threshold: 10
The Log Threshold indicates the threshold severity for the log message generated. Every log
message has a severity value that ranges from zero (the most severe) to 10 (the least severe).
An SMTP server should be specified that will be used to send the email messages. The SMTP server
MUST be specified using an IP address and cannot be specified using a domain name such as
dns:smtp.domain.com.
