SMTP Mail

The SMTP Mail alarm action enables an alarm to send mail concerning a transition to anyone with access to an SMTP server. This mail contains the name of the alarm that underwent the transition, the name and severity of the destination state, the name of the node being monitored, and so on.

   Before you can use this action, NerveCenter must specify an SMTP server. This setup is covered fully in Managing NerveCenter.
