You can set up local notifications for your Snowball Edge devices with Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). The local notifications send emails to configured servers when the service state (Active, Degraded, Inactive) changes, or if you cross capacity utilization thresholds of 80%, 90%, or 100%.
Before you begin, confirm that:
-
You have access to the latest Snowball Edge client.
-
Your device is unlocked and ready to use.
-
Your device can connect to the internet (if using Amazon Simple Email Service or external SMTP server) or to a local SMTP server.
