Overview

Email alerts notify recipients when selected events occur (for example: file quarantined, session aborted, host failure, or system alert).  Each email alert includes a unique name, one or more event types (which vary by job type), and a list of recipient email addresses.

You can apply multiple email alerts to a job, and an alert can be reused across multiple jobs of the same type.  When you create a job, you can select an existing email alert or create a new one and apply it during job setup.

Requirements and Constraints

•SMTP must be configured before alerts can be sent.  See Email Configuration.

•You cannot modify an email alert while it is applied to a running job.

•You cannot delete an email alert while it is applied to any job.

•Email alerts are defined in the preferences for each job type.
