4. Set email notifications parameters:
Send email notifications
Enables the display of the configurable parameters when checked.
Send an email notification when the event priority is at least n
The lowest priority event that will generate an email alert message. For example, if this value
is set to 6, only events with a priority of 6 or lower (7, 8, or 9) trigger an automated email alert
message. To disable email alarms, set this value to 0.
Send a maximum of n emails per day
The limit on the number of emails that can be sent during any 24-hour period. The intention is
to prevent excessive alerts being sent when the event trigger value is set to a high priority /
low value (for example, 1, 2, or 3), such as a value that results in a large number of automated
email alert messages being generated. A maximum of 255 emails can be sent in a day.
n emails have been sent today
A status message, indicating how many emails have been sent during the last 24-hour period.
Use email template file
The name of a template file to form the basis of any email alert messages generated by the
event logger. The default template is a file called event.eml stored in the compressed .web
file. You can create alternative template, but to be valid, it must have the .eml file extension
and be stored in the normal file directory. A new template with the name event.eml takes
precedence over the predefined event.eml template, but it is recommended to use a new
name, such as event1.eml.
