Configure vRealize Log Insight to Send Health Notifications

You can configure vRealize Log Insight to send notifications related to its own health.

If an email message cannot be delivered, you are notified of the error on the Web interface.

Prerequisites

• Verify that you are logged in to the vRealize Log Insight web user interface as a Super Admin user, or a user associated with a role that has the relevant permissions. See Create and Modify Roles for more information. The URL format of the web user interface is https://log-insight-host, where log-insight-host is the IP address or host name of the vRealize Log Insight virtual appliance.

• Verify that the SMTP server is configured for vRealize Log Insight. For more information, see Configure the SMTP Server for vRealize Log Insight.
