Emails and Alert Configuration

The Aviatrix Controller sends alert emails for events such as:

• Tunnel status change
• Gateway status change

By default, the alert email is sent to the admin of the Controller. The email can be an individual email address or an email alias of a team.

By default, the source email address is info@aviatrix.com.

How to change alert email configuration

If you would like the alert messages to be sent to a different email,

go to Settings -> Controller -> STATUS CHANGE EVENT EMAIL,
fill in a new email address and click Save.
