Mail server

When configuring the FortiAnalyzer unit to send email alert messages, you need

to configure a DNS server and an SMTP server. The FortiAnalyzer unit uses the

SMTP server name to connect to the mail server, and must look up this name on

your DNS server. To configure a DNS server, see “DNS” on page 38.

Testing the Mail server configuration

SNMP access

Configure the SNMP server where the FortiAnalyzer unit sends SNMP traps when

encountering an alert. You must add the SNMP server before you can select it as

a way for the FortiAnalyzer unit to communicate an alert. For a list of supported

MIBs and traps see “FortiAnalyzer traps” on page 136.

To view the SNMP servers, go to Alert > Output > SNMP Access List.

Note: When smtp send mail fails, the FortiAnalyzer unit will attempt to send a message

every ten seconds and never stop until it succeeds in sending the message or the

administrator reboots the unit.
