If the InsightCM Server fails to send alarm notification emails, complete the following steps to log information about the failure.

Click the Navigation menu ( ) and select Utilities >> Trace Logger.
Double-click the SMTP.Emails tracepoint to enable it.
Click the Navigation menu ( ) and select Options.
In the tree on the left, select SMTP.
Select Test Mode.

Trigger an alarm that sends an email notification.

The server attempts to send an email to that address group and logs information about the attempt in the trace log.
Return to the Trace Logger tab and select the Action menu () and Download Trace Log.
Open the log file with a text editor and search for the tracepoints labeled SMTP.Emails for email delivery information.
