Alert events

To ensure that administrators are notified of system events, like a database download failure or a subscription that is about to expire, you can configure system alerts to be distributed by email or through your SNMP Trap system.

Use the page Settings > Alerts > Enable Alerts to select the method used to send these alerts to Forcepoint Email Security administrators. See Enabling system alerts.

Use the page Settings > Alerts > Alert Events to select categories of alerts to be delivered and to indicate how you want the alerts delivered (email or SNMP). Each delivery method must be enabled on the Enable Alerts page in order to select the method for an event type.

Alerts in the following event categories can be sent:

  • Subscription expiration
  • Email system events
  • Log Server and Log Database events
  • Mail queue events
  • Email analysis events
  • Encryption and decryption events
  • Appliance cluster configuration events
  • User directory server events
  • Email hybrid service operation events
  • Signature update events
  • SIEM server events
  • Personal Email Manager server events
