Administration Guide

Distribution Lists

Distribution Lists

The DISTRIBUTION LISTS option enables you to specify recipients who will receive an email each time a security event is triggered by FortiEDR.

Note – You must configure SMTP before using the Distribution List option. For more details, see SMTP.

Note – Emails are only sent for security events that occur on devices that are part of Collector Groups that are assigned to a Playbook policy in which the Send Email Notification option is checked.

Each email contains all the raw data items collected by FortiEDR about that security event. The system is provided with a Distribution List called All Recipients that contains all FortiEDR Central Manager users. All other recipients that are added to the system are also automatically added to the All Recipients list.

This window displays a row for each Distribution List. Click the button in a row to view the recipients assigned to that list.

Use the button to create a new Distribution List.

Use the button to add a recipient/user to a Distribution List.

Select a distribution list row and then use the Enabled/Disabled option in the NOTIFICATIONS pane on the right to enable or disable the list per event type (system events or security events).
