Administrator Help | Forcepoint Email Security | Version 8.5.x
To ensure that administrators are notified of system events, like a database download failure or a subscription that is about to expire, you can configure system alerts to be distributed by email or through your SNMP Trap system.
Use the page Settings > Alerts > Enable Alerts to select the method used to send these alerts to Forcepoint Email Security administrators. See Enabling system alerts.
