# Setting up email notifications of alerts

Contents

This feature lets a superuser selectively turn on and turn off email notifications of specific classes of alerts for individual users. Users can also configure this capability. The alert email has specific information as to which component is affected.

Note: A mail handler needs to be established to forward alert emails before this feature will work. See Enabling Email Notifications in the Intel® EE for Lustre* Software Installation Guide.
