+
+  This class provides mailers config for a given proxy.

+
+.. js:attribute:: ProxyMailers.track_server_health
+
+  Boolean set to true if the option "log-health-checks" is configured on
+  the proxy, meaning that all server checks event should trigger email alerts.
+
+.. js:attribute:: ProxyMailers.log_level
+
+  An integer, the maximum log level that triggers email alerts. It is a number
+  between 0 and 7 as defined by option "email-alert level".
+
+.. js:attribute:: ProxyMailers.mailservers
+
+  An array containing the list of mail servers that should receive email alerts.
+  Each array entry is a name:desc pair where desc represents the full server
+  address (including port) as described in haproxy's configuration file.
+
+.. js:attribute:: ProxyMailers.smtp_hostname
