Since you can't always be physically at the device, you can monitor events by setting up alert email. Alert emails provide an efficient and direct method of notifying an administrator of events.

Before you can configure alert email, you must have a SMTP server set up on FortiGate. Once configured,the Alert Email menu item appears.You can configure alert emails from the Alert Email page.You can trigger alert emails based on type(such as any time an intrusion is detected or there is a firewall authentication failure) or on minimum log seerity level(such as all logs at the Alert level or above). You can configure up to three recipients.由于无法始终关注设备监控页面，因此您可以通过设置警报电子邮件来监控事件。警报电子邮件提供了一种有效且直接的方法为管理员通知事件。在配置警报电子邮件之前，必须在FortiGate上设置SMTP服务器。 配置后，将显示“警报电子邮件”菜单项。您可以从“警报电子邮件”页面配置警报电子邮件。您可以根据类型（例如检测到*或防火墙身份验证失败）或**最低日志级别（例如警报中的所有日志）触发警报电子邮件 等级或以上）。 您最多可以配置三个收件人。
