Set the Frequency of FTSA Type 3 Messages
When messaging is enabled, FTSA sends an E-mail every 24 hours containing inventory information to all
recipients. There is no facility for setting the frequency for individual recipients.
Generate FTSA Type 4 Messages
FTSA can collect and E-mail a user-defined subset of the local system log.These E-mails are Type 4, and
Type 4 messages are enabled by default:
After the initial message, subsequent messages only include log entries with that were generated after the
last message was sent to the server so that log messages are not repeated in multiple E-mails.
