How to Edit Email Alert Settings

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 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

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,

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?
