Hi.
I have just installed a completely new installation of the vCloud Usage Meter 3.6.0.1 Build 6552112, but by the first configuration I got the following error message:
Unable to send an email because of a non-existing recipient email address.
I can't go ahead because with this error I can't klick on save.
I have already tried to reinstall the Usage Meter again. But then I got the message, that the Usage Meter is not in the production mode.
1. How can I change the test mode into production mode?
2. How can I resolv the mail problem? There is no possibility to enter an receipent email address and my email address on the first page is correct.
Thanks, best regards
Wireshark to the rescue. Email is sent to the address configured on the provider tab and also to um-reports@vmware.com so it needs relay permission to vmware.com
Hi,
Please configure an outgoing email server, so that vCloud Usage Meter can send emails.
Reference doc : Configuring Email Settings
Steps to be followed,
In Email Page,
1. Provide SMTP Host details.
2. Clicks Send Email button.
Thanks,

I have the same problem in build 7359407. It won't let me save mail server until it has succeded in sending email. It can't send send email until recipient is configured but it won't let me configure recipient until mail server is configured! Assuming recipient email address configuration is under "Email Alerts" that is greyed out,

Hi,
In Usage Meter, Please do Configure the Outgoing Email Server settings. (Manager--> Email).
To send emails to VMware, it is mandatory to configure host name and port number (default: 25).
Steps to be followed,
Note:
In case of wrong configuration of SMTP host, Usage Meter throws an error message "Unable to send an email because of either wrong configuration of SMTP host or network error. Please update Outgoing Email Server settings or check your network settings.".
