User guide

Note: You may need to contact your network administrator first to ensure that the IP address of

the Monitoring Service computer has been granted both Connect and Relay permissions for the

specified SMTP server.

Next, enter the email From Address. This is the address which will appear on the From line of all email

notifications sent by SQL Sentry. You can also specify a Username and Password if authentication is

required by your SMTP server. This is not usually required in most environments.

Click the Test button to generate a test email to a specific address.

Important: For the most accurate SMTP test, you should use the Client installed on the SQL

Sentry Monitoring Service computer to send the test message. If you use a Client on a different

computer, such as your local workstation, the results may be different. For example, your SMTP

server may allow relay from your workstation but not from the SQL Sentry Monitoring Service

computer, in which case the test from your workstation would succeed but the SQL Sentry

Monitoring Service would be unable to deliver notifications.

At least one user is required for SQL Sentry to be able to send notifications. Enter the user's email

address and name and then click Next to continue.

Note: Tokens are disabled by default in SQL Server 2005 and higher. They must be enabled in

SQL Sentry Quick Start 17
