Information
Immediately after dashboard installation, the settings specify that email is not sent. Customize email send settings to send notifications via email.
Email send settings must be set in order to send alert information via email. Refer to "9.1.7 Settings for Email Sent from the Dashboard" for information on email setting for mail server.
The customization method for email sending settings is as shown below.
Open the [Actions] tab on the workspace, and select [E-mail] from the action list.
In [Recipient(s)] in [Details for Action type "E-mail"], specify the email address of the alert email recipient.
Delete the email address "admin@localhost" specified as the default.
An alert email is sent as Bcc (Blind Carbon Copy), so the addresses of other addressees will not be seen by the recipient.
Depending on the settings of the mail server, the "to address" (the recipient) may also be shown as "undisclosed-recipients:;".
Modify the following items, as necessary:
[Action List]
[Name]: Select [E-mail], and change it to the desired name.
