• Log Destination. The email address of the log-collection system. The email addresses must use the format
user-name@domain-name and can have a maximum of 320 bytes. For example:
[e-mail].
• Include Logs. When the managed logs feature is enabled, this option activates “push” mode, which
automatically attaches system log files to managed-logs email notifications that are sent to the log-collection
system. This option is disabled by default.

Error (and Critical); Warning (and Error and Critical); Informational (all); or none (Disabled). The default is
none, which disables SNMP notification.
