To ensure that alert emails are sent properly from Prism Central within an NC2 environment, configuring an SMTP server in the Prism Central settings is required. The SMTP server facilitates the sending of email notifications for alerts and other communications.
SMTP Configuration:
Prism Central requires an SMTP server to send email alerts. This involves specifying the SMTP server address, port, and authentication details if needed.
The configuration must include the email address from which the alerts will be sent and the recipient addresses.
Steps to Configure SMTP Server in Prism Central:
Log in to Prism Central.
Navigate to the "Settings" menu.
Select "Email Server" under the "Alerts" section.
Enter the SMTP server details, including the server address, port, and authentication credentials.
Test the configuration to ensure emails are sent correctly.
