Email Alerting Commands 38313Email Alerting CommandsEmail Alerting is an extension of the logging system. The PowerConnectlogging system allows the user to configure a variety of destinations for logmessages. This feature adds email configuration capabilities, by which thelog messages are sent to a configured SMTP server such that an operator mayreceive the log in an e-mail account of their choice.Figure 1: Log Messages Severity LevelThe network operator can adjust the urgent and non-urgent severity levels.These levels are global and apply to all destination email addresses. Logmessages in the urgent group are sent immediately to SMTP server with eachlog message in a separate mail. Log messages in the non-urgent group arebatched into a single email message and after a configurable delay.Only the minimum part (MUA functionality of RFC 4409) required by theswitch or router to send the messages to the SMTP server is supported.
