Receive Event Notification
Go to Main Menu > Control Panel > Notification and set up Synology DiskStation to notify you via Email or text
messages whenever an important event occurs (for example, status change, system error, lost connection, fan
behavior change, or storage volume running out of space).
Receive Email Notification
Click the Email tab in the main section to set up email notification.
To set up Email notification:
1 Enter the SMTP server name or IP address.
2 By default, the SMTP port number is 25. Modify the number if you have specified a different SMTP port while
setting up port forwarding rules.
3 If your SMTP server requires SSL/TLS connection, tick Secure connection (SSL/TLS) is required.
4 If your SMTP server requires authentication, tick Authentication required, and enter your username and
password for the email server.
5 Enter the email address that will receive the notification mails in the Primary email or the Secondary email
field.
6 Click Send a test email to see if your email settings are set up properly.
If you want to add a subject prefix in front of the notification mail subject, enter it in the Subject prefix field. The
prefix helps you identify which DiskStation the notification mail was sent from.
