Configuring Email Alerts
Note:
Email alerts are only available in a pool with XenServer Advanced edition or above. To find
out about XenServer editions and how to upgrade, visit the Citrix website here.
Alerts generated from XenServer can also be automatically e-mailed to the resource pool administrator, in
addition to being visible from the XenCenter GUI. To configure this, specify the email address and SMTP server:
pool:other-config:mail-destination=<joe.bloggs@domain.tld>
pool:other-config:ssmtp-mailhub=<smtp.domain.tld[:port]>
You can also specify the minimum value of the priority field in the message before the email will be sent:
pool:other-config:mail-min-priority=<level>
