Notifications tab

This tab contains the options and settings associated with sending e-mail alerts.

Enable e-mail notifications

This option enables the configuration of sending alerts by e-mail.

The e-mail notification feature requires a mail server that can receive e-mails from the firewall.

E-mail sending frequency (in minutes)

Sending frequency

This option allows you to specify the frequency with which reports will be sent. A report contains all the alarms detected from the previous report. As such, e-mails will be received during certain time slots and not each time an alarm is raised. The default value is 15.

EXAMPLE
With a frequency of 15 minutes, you will be informed by e-mail every 15 minutes of alarms that were raised on the firewall during this period.
