Creating email alerts within SmartCentre

Back to Secure Platform

Check Point SmartCente can be configured to send alerts via SMTP. In order to do this you need to configure the internal_sendmail function using specified arguments. It does not require a mail server or client to be installed on the SmartCenter server.

In SmartDashboard:

1. Select 'Global Properties > Log and Alert > Alert Commands'.
2. Check 'Send mail alert to SmartView Status'.
3. Check 'Run mail alert script'.
4. Enter the following script into the area proided:

   internal_sendmail [-s <subject>] [-t <mail-server>] [-f <from email address>] <recipient-1> <recipient-2> ...

5. In the Rule Base, define a rule that will generate an alert. In the Track field, enter 'Mail'.
6. Install the Security Policy.

For multiple email addresses, you can seperate each email address with a space.
