Set the Local Weka Home to send alerts or events

Once the Local Weka Home is deployed, you can set it to send specific alerts or events by Email (SMTP), PagerDuty, and SNMP Traps (v1/v2c/v3).

For example, you can set the Local Weka Home to send alerts by email to a specific address when the cluster is at a lower level of data protection than configured.
