To verify complete connectivity from the FortiAnalyzer unit to the administrator’s inbox, this should be the administrator’s email address.

4Select Test.

A message appears, indicating the success or failure of sending email to the SMTP server. If the message was successfully sent, verify that it reached the email address.

Configuring SNMP traps and alerts

You can configure the SNMP server where the FortiAnalyzer unit sends SNMP traps when an alert event occurs, and which SNMP servers are permitted to access FortiAnalyzer SNMP system traps. You must add at least one SNMP server before you can select it as an alert destination.

For a list of supported MIBs and traps, see “FortiAnalyzer SNMP support” on page 138.

To view configured SNMP servers, go to Alert > Output > SNMP Access List.
