Adding E-Mail Contacts

Each alert profile can notify one or more e-mail addresses when related events occur. If you want the Avalanche Console to notify you of an alert by e‑mail, add the e-mail address to the Profiled Contacts list for that profile. The entire contact list will receive e‑mails for all alerts generated by that profile.

Note:   You must configure the e-mail settings before Avalanche will send e-mails when alerts are generated. For information on configuring e-mail settings, see Configuring E-mail Settings.

A list of e-mail addresses in a comma-delimited .csv file (for example, one exported from Microsoft Outlook) can be imported in order to add multiple e-mail addresses at a time.

To add e-mail contacts:

1   On the Profiles tab, select the profile you want to configure from the Profile List.
2   Click Edit.
3   In the Profiled Contacts tab, click Add.

Add button in the Profiled Contacts area

The Contact Information dialog box appears.

4   Type the desired information in the provided text boxes. An e-mail address is required. When you are done, click OK.

The contact is displayed in the Profiled Contacts list box.

5   Repeat Step 4 until you are finished adding e-mail addresses.
6   Save your changes.

To import e-mail addresses:
