Overview
The Peer Management Center supports the concept of email alerts, where a single alert (consisting of a unique name, a selection of event types along with a list of email addresses) can be applied to multiple file synchronization jobs without requiring repeat entry for each job. When an email alert is applied to a job, an email is sent to all listed recipients anytime a selected event type is triggered by that job.
To mange email alerts, right-click any file synchronization job from the Jobs view and select the Email Alerts node from the Monitoring node. Click Edit PeerSync Email Alerts. The following screen represents the list of defined email alerts, along with buttons to add new ones and edit, copy and remove existing ones.
Upon adding or editing an email alert, the following dialog is displayed:
Within this dialog, you can select specific event triggers on which an email will be generated and configure the list of email recipients of the alert(s). Event types are defined below.
Event Types
Session Abort |
Enables sending an alert when a session is aborted because of lack of quorum due to one or more failed host agents. |
Failed Events |
Enables sending an alert when a failed event is received from the PeerSync machine. |
Host Failure |
Enables sending an alert when a host agent timeout occurs or a PeerSync service timeout occurs. |
Failed State |
Enables sending an alert when the state of the File Synchronization machine changes from Active to "Failed State" indicating that either a failed scan or failed event was detected in the latest set of synchronization stats. |
