Explains configuration of email alert notification feature in Intel® VROC.
Unable to configure email alert notifications with Intel® VROC.
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.
