Configuring which alerts to send
To configure the specific events that trigger event notification emails, you must configure an event log
notification group. An event log notification group is a group of users who are notified when certain
events occur. Before you can configure an event log notification group to receive notifications, you
need to make sure that the members of the group use a common email address. A group can contain
only a single user if this is appropriate for a site. In this case, enter the email address for that user.

The Options dialog box appears.
2. Click the Notifications tab.
3. Click Add New e-Mail Group.

• e-mail—Enter a single common email address for the event log notification group.

is optional.
• Select options for create—From the dropdown box, select one of these options:
• All messages of all message groups—Use this option to send the notification group emails
about all of the events that occur.
