Cisco Cisco Content Security Management Appliance M1070 Mode D'Emploi

Alert types include: 

Hardware alerts. See 

System alerts. See 

Updater alerts. 

Alerts can have the following severities:

Critical: issue that requires immediate attention

Warning: problem or error requiring further monitoring and potentially immediate attention

Info: information generated in the routine functioning of this device

Because alert messages can be used to inform you of problems within your Cisco Content Security 
appliance, they are not sent using AsyncOS’s normal mail delivery system. Instead, alert messages pass 
through a separate and parallel email system designed to operate even in the face of significant system 
failure in AsyncOS. 

The alert mail system does not share the same configuration as AsyncOS, which means that alert 
messages may behave slightly differently from other mail delivery:

Alert messages are delivered using standard DNS MX and A record lookups.

They do cache the DNS entries for 30 minutes and the cache is refreshed every 30 minutes, so 
in case of DNS failure the alerts still go out.

If your deployment includes Email Security appliances: 

Alert messages do not pass through the work queue, so they are not scanned for viruses or spam. 
They are also not subjected to message filters or content filters.

Alert messages do not pass through the delivery queue, so they will not be affected by bounce 
profiles or destination control limits.
