Configuring SMTP Notification for VRTSweb

You can configure VRTSweb to send out email notifications about events associated with the Web server. For example:

• The Web server is starting/stopping [severity: INFORMATION]
• The Web console is starting/stopping [severity: INFORMATION]
• The Web server's allocated heap size very close to the maximum allowed [severity: SEVERE]

To send an email notification, VRTSweb needs to know the IP address or hostname of a configured SMTP server. The SMTP server address is also made available to all the Web consoles running on the Web server, thereby avoiding the need to configure the SMTP server at multiple places.

Retrieving the Name of the Configured SMTP Server

  From the command line

Run the following command on the system where VRTSweb is installed:

The command displays the SMTP server address or hostname, if it is configured.

  From the Web console

1. Access the Web server using an existing port number. For example, http://hostname:8181/
2. Click the Configuration tab.
3. The SMTP Recipients table on the right side of the page displays the configured SMTP server.
