Global SMTP settings

Is there a place to define the SMTP server settings so they don't have to be entered each time you configure an alert with an email notification?

I would think this should be an easier feature to find, but its not.

Hi rajackson,

The SMTP server hostname/ip address is stored in the following key in the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SolarWinds.net\SolarWinds 2002\EMail\Gateway

Orion does not keep the port number and the credentials.

You can set the Hostname/IP address of your SMTP server by using the SWEmailNotify utility

\Program Files\Solarwinds\Common\SWEmailNotify

Type there the hostname/ip address of your email server and click on Apply Changes.

HTH,

Following on from this,

Is there away to change the SMTP hostname for alerts that are already configured without going in to each alert that is already set up?

Kind Regards

I created an idea to be commented/voted on.

I recently ran into this as well, where I had to manually change a large number of alerts to a new SMTP server.

Thanks,

There is a good post on making this change en mass:

Until this is baked into the feature set, this is a great time saver.
