Configure the appliance to send email messages when specific alerts are generated.

### Prerequisites

- Required session ID privileges: Infrastructure administrator

- SMTP settings and credentials, as needed

  | IMPORTANT: Passwords are sent in clear text because this feature does not support TLS/SSL for SMTP sessions. If passwords are required for email accounts, Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends creating a dedicated email account solely for email notification of alerts.
