Configuring email alert settings
How to configure email alert settings in AIDA.
About this task
When anomalies in a KPI trend generate an alert, it can be notified via email.
To receive alert email, you must set up an SMTP server and, during the waai-email container deployment with Docker or Kubernetes, you must configure the following settings in the configuration file (.env or .yaml):
- SMTP_SERVER
- Fully qualified hostname of the SMTP Server that will be used by AIDA to send alert email [Example: smtp.gmail.com]
- SMTP_PORT
- The port of the SMTP mail server [Must be a TLS Port. Example for Gmail: 587]
- SENDER_MAILID
- The sender email account [Example: username@gmail.com]
- SENDER_MAILPWD
- The password associated with the SMTP email account
- RECIPIENT_MAILIDS
- Comma separated list of recipient emails [Example: test@mail.com,test2@mail.com]
For example, to configure an SMTP server for Google Gmail, run the following steps:
- Sign in to your Gmail account.
- In the top right corner of Gmail window, click Settings, and then All settings.
- Select the Forwarding and POP/IMAP tab and click the Enable IMAP radio button.
- From Manage your Google Account, select Security.
- Turn on Less secure app access .
