Email Server

ZStack provides the ZWatch feature. If you select an email as the endpoint when you use ZWatch, you need to set the email server to receive alarm emails.

Add Email Server

In the navigation pane of the ZStack Private Cloud UI, choose Platform Management > Email Server. On the Email Server page, click Add Email Server. On the displayed Add Email Server page, set the following parameters:
  • Name: Enter a name for the email server.
  • Description: Optional. Enter a description for the email server.
  • User Name: Enter a user name.
  • Password: Enter a password corresponding to the user name.
    Note: If you use a third-party email as the email server, enable the SMTP service in the third-party email settings in advance, and enter the obtained authorization code in the password text box.
  • Email Server Type: By default, smtp is selected.
  • Email Server: Enter the address of the email server.
  • Email Server Port: Enter the port of the email server. Default port: 25.
  • Encryption Type: Optional. Select an encryption type to encrypt the email server port. Options: STARTTLS | SSL/TLS | NONE.
    Note:
    • The encryption type defaults to STARTTLS, and its corresponding port is 25.
    • If you select SSL/TLS, note that the default port is 465.
    • If you do not want to encrypt the SMTP server, select NONE.

Click OK. Then, the system automatically checks whether the user name, password, email server address, email server port, and encryption type are correct. The waiting time does not exceed five seconds. If an error occurs, modify your settings as promoted and submit your settings again. If no error is detected, the system returns to the Email Server page, indicating that the email server is added successfully.
Note:

Enter the relevant information according to your actual situation. If you have any questions, contact the relevant email server provider.
