By default, notifications are not sent. You must configure the StorageGRID Webscale to send notifications when alarms are raised.
Steps
Configuring email server settings
The E-mail Server page allows you to configure SMTP mail server settings that enable the sending of alarm notifications and AutoSupport messages. The StorageGRID Webscale system only sends email; it cannot receive email.
Creating email templates
Create an email template to customize the header, footer, and subject line of a notification. You can use email templates to send unique notifications that contain the same body text to different mailing lists.
Creating mailing lists
You can create mailing lists for notifications. A mailing list enables you to send one email message to multiple email addresses. These mailing lists are used to send notifications when an alarm is triggered or when a service state changes. You must create a mailing list before you can send notifications. To send a notification to a single recipient, create a mailing list with one email address.
Configuring global email notifications
In order to receive global email notifications, recipients must be a member of a mailing list and that list must be added to the Notifications page. Notifications are configured to send email to recipients only when an alarm with a specified severity level is triggered or when a service state changes. Thus, recipients only receive the notifications they need to receive.
