Simple Mail Transport Protocol, or SMTP, is an internet standard for email transmission. Collibra DQ allows you to configure a single SMTP server to send alerts to the attention of the dataset owner in case a specific condition is met, such as:
- Data Quality Score is below a specific threshold.
- Row Count is below a specific threshold.
- If a rule is triggered.
Steps
- Sign into Collibra DQ.
- Select Alerts.
Note You can also access the Alerts menu via the Admin Console.
- Configure the SMTP server for alerts in the following input fields. All fields are required.
Option Description SMTP Host The name or the IP address of the SMTP server. SMTP Port The port used by the SMTP server. SMTP Username The username or the account that is configured on the SMTP server for use. SMTP Password The password of the SMTP server username or account. To Email (Default) The sender email address. Reply Email The reply-to email address. Include Links (check box) Links to the specific instance(s)/page(s) where the alert came from in the DQ alert email.
If you select this check box, the links to the specific instance(s)/page(s) where the alert came from display in the Collibra DQ alert email. This allows you to quickly access the environment(s), from which the alert originated.
Note When you enable the Include Links functionality, you must also paste in your host address (e.g., https://x.x.x.x) into the HOST_NAME value, found in .
Important Be aware that some email servers, such as Microsoft Exchange, require the SMTP username and Reply email fields to be the same.
