Administrator e-mail options

The ClusterCATS administration e-mail support feature reports vital statistics about your cluster to designated e-mail accounts in your organization. You can set up the following types of administration e-mail options:

• Report e-mail - lets you know each day how your server clusters are functioning. Daily e-mail reports include the following information:
  • Cluster name and each server's name and IP address in the cluster
  • Files - number of files in the web server's root directory
  • Disk space - amount of disk space used and remaining on the system drive that contains the web server's root directory
  • Log files - size and location of the log files
• Support e-mail - sends an automatic e-mail nightly to Macromedia's Technical Support team that contains basic configuration information about your cluster. This information enables Macromedia to provide optimal support by understanding your environment when you call a Technical Support representative. Support e-mail contains the following information:
  • Cluster name and the number of servers the cluster contains
  • Statistics for each server, including failover, redirection, and database statistics

    You can also have one or more people of your choice receive copies of this periodic e-mail.
