Email server configuration

You can configure a AVEVA System Monitor Alert Email Server if you want to receive email alerts when AVEVA System Monitor identifies conditions of interest. The Email Server configuration is optional, and if configured, it establishes an email server that the System Monitor Manager can use to send alerts. You can configure this setting in either the Configurator or the AVEVA System Monitor browser user interface, and the two locations for configuration always stay synced.

Note: You must have SQL Server administrator rights to configure the Email Server.
