Dec 12, 2013SMTP configuration on 11.3.0
Hi Everyone,
I just noticed that on the GUI of my 11.3.0 box I have the SMTP configuration, I just wanted to know what alerts the box will be sending on the configured e-mail? Has anyone tried it? ...

With default settings you will not see anything being sent to the smtp server, however within certain modules you can configure reports to be sent out. Fro example, AVR allows you to specify an SMTP configuration for emailing reports, and ASM also allows for reports to be automatically emailed out. So you are not going to see emails about objects "turning red" or monitors failing, and nor should you rely on this. The F5 box is not intended to be a replacement for your incident management software. All emails and alerts for objects failing should be sent out from your alert station. The F5 device should be configured to log remotely or to send snmp traps to another device which manages alerts.
