The Alert Actions tab of the Edit Event Alert Rule wizard allows you to change the action you want this alert rule to perform when an audited event matches the specified criteria. Depending on the actions you select, IDERA SQL Compliance Manager will write an alert message to the application event log and email it to a specific email address or distribution list. You can use the default alert message or customize it to display the information you need most.

To successfully use email notification, ensure SQL Compliance Manager is configured to connect to your mail server. For more information, see the Configure Email Settings window.
