Legacy Documentation

Email Server settings configure SMTP or SendGrid delivery for Mini DBA alert notifications. Configure email before relying on alert delivery outside the console.

Fields

Server Name: SMTP server hostname.
Port: SMTP port.
Enable SSL: whether to use SSL/TLS for SMTP.
User Name and Password: SMTP authentication credentials.
From Address: sender address for Mini DBA alert email.
To Address: default recipient address.
CC Address: optional copied recipient address.
Group Alert Emails: combine alerts where supported.
SendGrid API Key: optional SendGrid key instead of direct SMTP credentials.

Test Email Delivery

Enter the email provider settings.
Save the settings.
Select Test.
Confirm the test message is received.
If it fails, check Service Log and verify credentials, ports, TLS settings, and web proxy settings.

Alert Routing

Use the default To and CC fields for simple environments. For team-based routing, configure alert recipients and recipient groups.

Email Delivery Guidance

Email is often the baseline alert channel because it creates a durable notification record. Configure email before relying on Mini DBA alerts outside the console, then send a test message and confirm it arrives in the expected mailbox.

For production environments, use a monitored sender address and a service account or provider token rather than a personal mailbox. Confirm SPF, DKIM, allow-listing, TLS, relay rules, and rate limits with your mail administrator. If using SendGrid, protect the API key like any other secret and rotate it through your normal process.

If test mail fails, check SMTP hostname, port, TLS mode, credentials, proxy requirements, provider logs, and Service Log. Some providers block basic authentication or require application-specific passwords.
