Configuring Event Notification
You can configure how and under what conditions the system alerts you when
specific events occur. The system generates events having three severity levels:
Critical – Something related to the system or to a virtual disk has failed and
■
requires immediate attention.
Warning – Something related to the system or to a virtual disk has a problem.
■
Correct the problem as soon as possible.
Informational – A problem occurred that the system corrected, or a system
■
change has been made. These events are purely informational; no action required.
You can:
Choose to be notified of all events, categories of events, or individual events.
■
Enable or disable different notification methods for different events. Methods
■
include visual alerts, email alerts, and SNMP traps.
Configure options for each notification method.
■
To view the current notification settings:
●
Select Manage > Event Notification > Notification Summary.
Event notification is controlled by three levels of settings. The settings are listed in
order of precedence, meaning that the first settings override subsequent settings.
Notification Enabled – This is the highest level of control. Enable allows the
■
notification selected by the lower levels. Disable prevents any event notification.
Event Categories Selected – If an event category is selected, and any events of
■
that type occur, notification occurs.
Individual Events Selected – Individual events can be selected for notification.
■
Note –
See "Viewing the Event Log" on page 171 for more information.
All events are logged to the event log whether notification is enabled or not.
