Running EM 3.0 on EM 4000 appliance

 

----------------------------

 

The Reporting email mechanism is not working from the GUI. However, when i run a similar test using the CLI (ssmtp), I have no problems sending emails from this EM device. I followed the instructions for configuration SMTP in the GUI (http://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/em/manuals/product/em-health-monitoring-3-0-0/2.html). I just dont know why the EM will not send email while create a simple report. Not sure if this is a bug or a missing configuration.

 

Example (CLI email working):

 

echo "Testing" | mail -vs "Testing" first.last@example.com ltm.example.com
