Enabling SNMP/email alerts
Log in to the Traffic Management Shell (tmsh) by typing the following command:
tmsh
To configure the system to send locally generated email messages, use the following command syntax:
modify /sys outbound-smtp mailhub <mail_server>:<port>
To save the configuration, type the following command:
save /sys config
Optional: If the SMTP mail host supports Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)/TLS authentication but does not establish a secure connection automatically, you must add the following four additional parameters into the /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf configuration file:
UseSTARTTLS=yes UseTLS=yes AuthUser=<SMTP-Account-Username> AuthPass=<SMTP-Account-Password>
Verify that ssmtp is configured properly and can send an email message:
echo "ssmtp test mail" | mail -vs "Test email" [email protected]
To modify the permissions on the user_alert.conf file to include write access, type the following command:
chmod 644 /config/user_alert.conf
