Configuring Alert Email
You can use the Alert Email feature to monitor logs for log messages, and to send email
notification about a specific activity or event logged. For example, if you require
notification about administrators logging in and out, you can configure an alert email that is
sent whenever an administrator logs in and out.
You can also base alert email messages on the severity levels of the logs.
To configure alert email go to Log&Report > Log Config > Alert E-mail. Enter the
information the FortiGate unit needs to send email. Select Test Connectivity to confirm
that you can receive alert email messages from the FortiGate unit.
Then configure Alert Email options to control when the FortiGate unit sends alert email.
