Configuring Alerts

You can configure the STM to send an e-mail alert when a failure, license expiration, or malware
attack or outbreak occurs. Four 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.
• License Expiration Alerts. Sent when when a license is about to expire and then again when
a license has expired.
• Malware Alert. Sent when the STM detects malware.
• 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 detected
within a specified period of time.
