Modifying When to Send E-mail Alerts

You can modify when to send e-mail alerts on all your connected Drobo devices, such as only when
the situation is critical.
1. In Drobo Dashboard, click the Dashboard Preferences option on the Navigation menu. The
Dashboard Preferences page opens.
2. In the Drobo Dashboard E-mail Alerts area, ensure the Send email alerts check box is selected to
enable this feature, and then modify your selection of one of the following options as needed for the
level of alerts you want:
● On all useful information – All alerts related to the condition of the Drobo devices will be e-
mailed. These are Drobo Notifications and can include, for example, when a new drive is added to
or removed from the Drobo device.
● When a situation is important – Alerts will be e-mailed only to warn of an important change to
one or more of the Drobo devices that could lead to a critical situation in the near future. These are
Drobo Warnings and can include, for example, when you convert to Dual Disk Redundancy on the
Drobo device.
● On critical situations only – Alerts will be e-mailed only to warn of a critical status with one or
more of the Drobo devices that could lead to potential data loss. These are Critical Drobo Alerts,
which can include when the Drobo device cannot currently protect your data against drive failure,
when the Drobo device doesn't recognize one or more of the drives installed, when the Drobo device
does not detect any drives or when too many drives have been removed.
