Configuring email alert settings

How to configure email alert settings in AIDA.

About this task

When anomalies in a KPI trend generate an alert, it can be notified via email.

To receive alert email, you must set up an SMTP server and, during the waai-email container deployment with Docker or Kubernetes, you must configure the following settings in the configuration file (.env or .yaml):

SMTP_SERVER
Fully qualified hostname of the SMTP Server that will be used by AIDA to send alert email [Example: smtp.gmail.com]
SMTP_PORT
The port of the SMTP mail server [Must be a TLS Port. Example for Gmail: 587]
SENDER_MAILID
The sender email account [Example: username@gmail.com]
SENDER_MAILPWD
The password associated with the SMTP email account
RECIPIENT_MAILIDS
Comma separated list of recipient emails [Example: test@mail.com,test2@mail.com]
For example, to configure an SMTP server for Google Gmail, run the following steps:
  1. Sign in to your Gmail account.
  2. In the top right corner of Gmail window, click Settings, and then All settings.
  3. Select the Forwarding and POP/IMAP tab and click the Enable IMAP radio button.
  4. From Manage your Google Account, select Security.
