Alert Email Log&Report
Alert Email
The Alert Email feature enables the FortiGate unit to monitor logs for log
messages, notifying by email of a specific activity or event logged. For example, if
you require notification about administrator(s) logging in and out, you can
configure an alert email that is sent whenever an administrator(s) logs in and out.
This feature sends out an alert email based on the severity level logged as well.

FortiGate unit uses the SMTP server name to connect to the mail server, and must
look up this name on your DNS server.

2 Set the following options and select Apply.
Note: If VDOMs are enabled, make sure the VDOM you are currently in allows access for
configuring an alert email. Certain VDOMs may only allow access to certain FortiGate
features.
