When you create a job, you can select existing email alerts to apply to the job or you can create new email alerts and apply them to the job. This Preferences page lists the existing email alerts. From this page, you can view, create, edit, and delete email alerts. However, you cannot edit or delete an email alert while it is applied to a job. See Email Alerts in the Basic Concepts section for more information about email alerts.
Note: An SMTP email connection must be configured before email alerts can be sent. See Email Configuration for information about configuring SMTP email settings.

Description |
|---|---|
Enable Queue Alerts |
Sends an email alert when the value in the Queued Items column for that job in the Collab, Sync, and Repl Summary view exceeds the High Threshold value. This column is the combination of the Real-time and File Sync queues as they are displayed in the user interface for the job. This counter is checked every 20 seconds and if it exceeds the High Threshold, an email alert is sent. Another alert will not be sent until the counter has dropped below the Low Threshold value and then exceeds the High Threshold value again. |
High Threshold |
The maximum value for the Queued Items value. When this value is exceeded, an alert is sent. |
Low Threshold |
Once an email has been sent, no additional emails will be sent until the Low Threshold value is met and then the High Threshold value is met again. |
Alert on Recovery |
Controls whether an email will be sent indicating that the counter has recovered to the Low Threshold value after an alert had been previously sent. |
