Configuring E-mail Settings
In this article
You can configure email settings to receive email notifications. The RHV backup proxy sends the following notifications:
- Backup jobs results.
- Availability of RHV backup proxy updates.
- RHV backup proxy security updates installation results.
- Configuration database backups results.
To configure notification settings, do the following:
- Click the Settings icon at the top right corner of the RHV backup proxy web console and select Appliance Settings.
- On the E-mail settings tab, select the Enable e-mail notifications check box.
- In the SMTP server field, enter the full DNS name or IP address of the SMTP server that will be used for sending email notifications.
- Click the Advanced button to specify SMTP settings.
- Specify the port number for the SMTP server.
- To use a secure connection for email operations, select the Connect using SSL check box.
- If you need to connect to the SMTP server using a specific account, select the This SMTP server requires authentication check box and specify credentials that will be used to connect to the SMTP server.
- In the From field, specify an email address from which email notifications must be sent.
- In the To field, specify the recipient addresses. Use a semicolon to separate multiple addresses. Recipients specified in this field will receive notification about every job managed by the backup server.
- In the Subject field, specify a subject for the sent message. You can use the following variables:
- %JobName% — name of the job.
- %JobResult% — status with which the job has finished.
- %ObjectCount% — number of objects in the job.
- Select the Notify on success, Notify on warning and (or) Notify on failure check boxes to receive email notification if a job was completed successfully, not successfully or with a warning.
- Select the Suppress notifications until the last retry check box to receive a notification about the final job status. If you do not enable this option, the RHV backup proxy will send one notification per every job retry.
- To send a test email, click Test Message. The RHV backup proxy will send a test email to check if all settings have been configured correctly.
- Click Apply to finish configuration.
