Setting Up or Modifying E-mail Alerts

Enabling e-mail alerts in Drobo Dashboard keeps you informed of the status of all the Drobo devices,
as well as critical issues such as drive failures, low capacity etc. Once you have set up e-mail alerts,
you can also modify these settings.
Drobo provides users with two configuration options:
● Drobo Server
● Custom Server
Note:
We recommend to choose Drobo Server as your mail server configuration.
It is important to change a failed drive as soon possible, especially when using Single Disk
Redundancy feature.
To configure the e-mail alerts follow the steps given below:
1. In Drobo Dashboard, click the Dashboard Preferences option on the Navigation menu.
2. Click the E-mail Settings link in the Drobo Dashboard E-mail Alerts section.
3. Drobo email settings can be configured using one of the two options, Drobo Server or Custom
Server.
Note:
If you had already configured the mail server before and upgraded to the latest Dashboard
version now, by default the Custom Server option remains configured as shown in the figure
below.
