SMTP
SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is used to send email notifications from anynode. This feature allows anynode to communicate important status updates, alerts, or event notifications via email to specified recipients. Here's a breakdown of how SMTP works with anynode:
Features of SMTP with anynode
Basic Notification System: SMTP serves as a simple notification mechanism when no full-fledged monitoring system is in place.
Event-Triggered Emails: It only sends notifications for specific events, such as errors, warnings, or other configured triggers.
Limitations: Since SMTP is reliant on anynode being operational, it cannot send E-mails if anynode itself is down.
Complementary to Monitoring Systems: While limited in scope, SMTP notifications can act as a backup or a simpler alternative to advanced monitoring tools like SNMP or WMI.
