Intel® VROC supports the email notification feature that allows the user to configure the platform to send alert/notification emails for each storage subsystem that gets reported by the Intel® VROC monitoring service.

The Intel® VROC user application provides the interface for enabling/disabling and configuring the email notification feature. You can choose to receive storage system notifications by email by configuring your server and email settings. In addition, you can select the types of notifications that will be sent to you as soon as they are reported. The default setting in the user application is disabled.

The required information to configure the email notifications is the following:

• SMTP Host: The server name you connect to in order to send and receive emails. If you are not sure, your email provider should provide you with this information. To properly setup the email notifications, you will need to setup SMTP relay host configuration.
• Port: The TCP port number used for relaying outbound mail to a mail server. Typically, port 25 is used for SMTP servers.
• Sender email address: The email address that will display in the From field of your email notification.
• Recipient email address: The email address where the notification will be sent. You can provide up to three email addresses, but only one is required.

Additional information about the email notification feature can be found in the help menu within the user application.
