Alert email
As the FortiRecorder system administrator, you can receive alert email whenever an important
system event occurs, such as the hard disk being full and so on. Before you configure alert

details see “Configuring FortiRecorder to send notification email”.
You can configure up to 10 alert email addresses.
To configure alert email settings
1. Go to Logs and Alerts > Alert Email > Configuration.
2. Click New.
3. Type your email address, such as admin@example.com.
