Mail Alerts

[badbeagle]

Can someone please help me with setting up mail alerts in NGX R60_HFA-02? The issue I am having is that I do not know how to configure the mail alerts to relay. How do I know which IP address on my firewall the alerts are being generated from? For example, my fw has an internal ip, external ip, dmz ip, and management ip. Obviously I cannot allow all ip addresses of the firewall to relay because I am assuming all mail that arrives from my firewall to my gateway so it would appear to always come from the firewall. Is there a way to force the alerts to be generated from the internal IP of the firewall?

Obviously I am missing something because others must be using this feature.

First of all, only HFA2? You should look at installing HFA 05. :)

The IP address is typically the SmartCenter server's IP. It's in constant communication with the firewalls via the CPMON service and is where you configure your alerts at by way of

SmartDashboard -> Policy -> Global Properties -> Logs and Alerts -> Alert commands

and

Smartview Montior -> Gateway Status -> All -> Highlight a specific Gateway -> Gateway (menu item at top) -> Thresholds

I am currently trying to setup a mail alert but it doesn't seem to work. I would really appeciate it if
someone could point out what I could be doing wrong.

I am currently using MS windows 2003 server with R60 installed. I have done the following in SmartDashboard

-> Global properties -> Log and alert -> Alert commands.

Checked 'Send mail alert to SmartView Monitor' and 'Run mail alert script'.
Entered in 'Run mail alert script': sendmail -t 10.X.X.X -s Test -f emailaddress@emailaddress.com emailaddress@emailaddress.com

I have also entered the following command on the SmartCentre Server:

%FWDIR%\bin\sendmail -t 10.X.X.X -s Test -f emailaddress@emailaddress.com emailaddress@emailaddress.com

Thanks in advance!

Hi you could try this in the global setting area:

internal_sendmail -s 'Check Point Status Warning' -t 192.168.##.## -f StatusAlert Support@JonDoe.co.uk

not 100% sure it will work.

Thanks, do I not have to enter this also into the command prompt of the managementserver too?
