You can add email profiles to define different tiers of user responsibility for the VSP One File server. For example, you can create a profile in which recipients receive alerts only on Severe events; a second profile in which recipients receive alerts for only Severe and Warning events; and a third profile in which recipients receive alerts for all events. In a large user group, dividing these users into separate profiles saves time and simplifies event notification.

  1. Navigate to Configuration > Event Notification Setup > Email Alerts Setup.
  2. In the Email Alerts Setup page, click Add Email Profile.
  3. In the Add Email Profile page, complete the following information, and then click Add.
    1. To enable the email profile, set the Enable Profile toggle switch to Yes, and enter a profile name.
      A profile name can be a combination of letters (A-Z, a-z), numbers (0-9), and special characters.
    2. To allow the alert email to be sent in HTML format, set the Send HTML Files toggle switch to Yes.
      HTML emails are easier to read than plain text emails.
    3. To add recipients to the email profile, enter the email addresses of the recipients and press the enter key. Repeat this step to add multiple email addresses.
    4. To send a daily VSP One File server status email to recipients at midnight, set the Send a Daily Status Email at Midnight toggle switch to Yes.
      The daily status email contains logs of server performance, battery health, server health, and the current space usage of the file systems.
    5. To uuencode the attachments sent with alert emails when the VSP One File server restarts after an unplanned shutdown, set the Uuencode Diagnostic Emails toggle switch to Yes.
      Uuencoded email attachments contain diagnostic information that helps the recipients to identify the cause of the unplanned VSP One File server shutdown. By uuencoding the attachment, the email bypasses any virus scanning software at the recipient site.
    6. To exclude attachments from alert emails, set the Exclude Attachments toggle switch to Yes.
    7. To share server details in alert emails, set the Disclose Server Details in Emails toggle switch to Yes.
      Server details include restricted or confidential information like account names, IP addresses, and portions of user data.
    8. Enter a message to send as an alert email introduction.
      The introduction message is used to add information or comments to the body of the alert email.
    9. Enter the maximum size limit of an alert email in KiB.
    10. Based on the severity of the alert, select the frequency to send an alert email:
      • Immediate (An email is sent immediately when the event occurs. This option is intended for Severe events, but can be used for any event.)
      • Summary (An email is sent once or twice a day. This option is intended for Warning or Information events, but can be used for any event.)
      • Never (This is the default.)
    11. If the frequency is set to Summary, set the time to send the first summary. Optionally, set the time to send the second summary. The time is set in 24 hour format.
    12. To send empty summary alert emails to the recipient, set the Send Empty Summary Alert Emails toggle switch to Yes.
      If there are no alerts, the VSP One File still sends out a summary email at the specified time.
    13. To prevent alerts when the NDMP backup system generates an event, set the Ignore NDMP Events in Immediate Emails toggle switch to Yes.
