Configuring Alert Email Triggers
vCenter Server Heartbeat allows you to congure email recipients in the On Red Alert, On Yellow Alert, and
On Green Alert tabs of the Congure Alerts dialog after conguring the trigger levels and the email server.
Configuring Default Alert Email Triggers
Red, Yellow, or Green alert triggers can email to the same or dierent recipients. The process to add recipients
is the same for all trigger levels.
Procedure
1 Select the On Red Alert, On Yellow Alert, or On Green Alert tab and select Send mail.
2 Select the frequency for the email to be sent.
3 Click Add and type a fully qualied email address for each recipient for the respective trigger level alert.
4 To delete a recipient, select the recipient’s email address in the Mail Recipients pane and click Remove.
Use the precongured subject and content of the alert emails for Red, Yellow, or Green alerts. You can
add content as required. VMware recommends leaving the precongured subject and content and if
necessary, add additional information.
