Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller 9 (iDRAC9) Version 3.00.00.00 User's Guide

Configure Alerts

Use this section to configure e-mail alerts. By default alerting is disabled. However, you can enable the alerting anytime. A group job would be created to apply the e-mail alert configuration to all the group servers. The status of group job can be monitored at GroupManager > Jobs page. Group manager email alert configures email alerts on all members. It sets the SMTP server settings on all members in the same group. Each iDRAC is configured separately. Email configuration is not globally saved. Current values are based on the iDRAC that is acting as a primary controller. Leaving a group does not reconfigure email alerts.

For more information on Configuring Alerts, see Configuring iDRAC to send alerts.
