9.4.1 Email Messages Sent to the Administrator

When certain events or errors occur, the administrator is notified by email.

The events causing an email message to be generated are:

• Automatic backups not enabled or not configured properly.

  Every 24 hours, when its time to take a snapshot, if automatic backups are not enabled, the csstored process reports that automatic backups are not properly configured.

• The disk space threshold has been exceeded.

  This message is sent out periodically until the condition has cleared.

• A service has stopped and can’t be restarted.

  The notification email will explain what required action is needed before the service can be started.
