How to Edit Email Alert Settings

[andrewa]

Hello Fortinet Community,

I have a Fortigate 200F with Firmware v7.0.2.

How do I edit the email alert settings currently set up with my Fortigate?  I did some searching, but only able to find information on Setting up new email alerts.

I also noticed this firmware version doesn't have the GUI for updating Email Alerts.  Was this deprecated on purpose?

Any information or help would greatly be appreciated.

Hi there:

You can try editing from the CLI  

https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortigate/7.0.2/administration-guide/526019/email-alerts

config alertemail setting
    set username fortigate@example.com
    set mailto1 admin@example.com
    set mailto2 manager@example.com
    set filter-mode category
    set email-interval 2
    set IPS-logs enable
    set configuration-changes-logs enable
    set admin-login-logs enable
end

We don't have the GUI option anymore on v7.0

Thank you,

Hope

Thanks Hope!

Let's say I created the email alert already, but want to change mailto2 parameter from "manager@example.com" to "president@example.com"? 

How do I just edit the mailto2 parameter?

Hi Andrewa,

Keep all the config the same and edit (change) only mailto2.

config alertemail setting
    set username fortigate@example.com
    set mailto1 admin@example.com
    set mailto2 president@example.com  <------ change only this
    set filter-mode category
    set email-interval 2
    set IPS-logs enable
    set configuration-changes-logs enable
    set admin-login-logs enable
end

Thank you,

Hope
