The steps below are to enable health monitoring
if the system status displays ``HEALTH: NOT MONITORED`` upon login or when typing **help**.

1. Add an email relay address for outgoing email: add the SMTP IP address:

   **notify emailrelay <smtp ip address>**

   For example:

   ::

      platform@host:~$ notify emailrelay 192.29.42.30
      emailrelay: 192.29.42.30


   The email relay can be verified with:

   **notify emailrelay**

   To disable or remove an external email relay or set the email relay back to default,
   use the following command:

   **notify emailrelay 127.0.0.1**


2. Add a schedule instance for health reporting, for example with a schedule name ``reports``:

   **schedule add reports log send output mailto:user@server.com diag health**


   For example:

   ::

      $ schedule add reports log send output mailto:user@server.com diag health

        Automatically setting time to midnight and enabling

        reports: 
        active: true
        command: log send output mailto:user@server.com diag health --force
        hour: 0
        min: 0

   Typing **help** at the command line will now *not* show the ``HEALTH: NOT MONITORED`` message.
   
   The schedule instance can be modified, for example weekly on Sunday:

   **schedule time reports weekly 0**
