Managing Alerts
Alerts are email notifications containing information about events occurring on
the Cisco IronPort appliance. These events can be of varying levels of importance
(or severity) from minor to major and pertain generally to a specific component
or feature on your appliance. Alerts are generated by the Cisco IronPort appliance.
You can specify, at a much more granular level, which alert messages are sent to
which users and for which severity of event they are sent. Manage alerts on the

Alerts: Alert Recipients, Alert Classifications, and Severities
Alerts are email messages or notifications containing information about specific
functions, such as hardware problems, that are sent to an alert recipient. An alert
recipient is an email address to which the alert notifications are sent. The
information contained in the notification is determined by the alert classification
and severity. You can specify which alert classifications, at which severity, are
sent to a particular alert recipient. The alerting engine allows for granular control
over the alerts that are sent to recipients. For example, you can configure the
system to send only specified types of alerts to a recipient, such as when the
severity level is Critical and the alert type is System. You can also configure
general settings (see
