Configure an Alert Email Server

Configuring an Alert Email Server is optional. This procedure establishes an existing email server that the System Monitor Manager can use to send alerts. This is configured on the System Monitor Manager node only.

Note: You must have SQL Server sysadmin rights to configure the email server. No warning will be displayed, but without the proper user rights, configuration changes you make to the Alert Email Server in the Configurator will not be accepted.

To configure Alert Email Server settings

1. On the left navigation pane, expand AVEVA System Monitor, and select Alert Email Server.

   

2. Do one of the following:

   • To skip email server configuration, select Enter Email server details later, in the System Monitor Manager web interface.

   • To configure the email server, select Enter Email server details now.

   Note: If you configure the option to skip email server configuration and close the Configurator, the option to enter email server details will be disabled if you re-run the Configurator next time. You will need to enter email server details through the System Monitor Manager web interface.

3. In the SMTP Server Name or IP field, enter either the computer name or IP address of the email server to be used for System Monitor alerts.

4. In the SMTP Server Port field, enter the port number of the email server (default: 25).

   • Use port number 25 for an unsecured SMTP server.

   • Use port number 465 for a secured SMTP server.

   See the AVEVA System Monitor User Guide for additional configuration information.

5. In the SMTP Server Secured field, select Yes if the SMTP server is secured. Select No if the SMTP server is not secured.

6. If you are using a secured email server, then enter the user name and password to access the server.

   Note: The user name and password field are only applicable to a secured email server.

7. In the From Email ID field, enter the email address that will be used to send system alerts from the System Monitor.

8. In the Default Recipient Email field, enter the email address(es) that will receive system alerts from the System Monitor.

9. Select Configure.

10. Select the next item in the left pane that requires configuration. When all required items have been configured, select Close to complete installation
