Set alarm notifications

Prerequisites
• A valid source email address, and IP and port addresses of the SMTP servers are specified. For more
information, see About PA Settings. PA uses the specified SMTP server details to dispatch email
notifications to the intended recipients.
• Specify a community name (Public or Private) for the source SNMP server. By default, Public is used
as the community name.
You can also specify a common subject line for all the alarm notifications, an appropriate title for the
Good Information Alarm notifications, and community name (Public or Private) for the source SNMP
server. For more information on setting the above-mentioned parameters, see Configure SNMP
settings.
IMPORTANT:
By default, PA dispatches Good Information alarm notifications. However, if it is disabled, you must
enable the Good Info Alarm Flag check box on the Email Settings screen to receive the XP7 Alarm -
Good Information Alarm notifications. For more information, see Configure alarm email settings.
Procedure
1. Click the HPE XP7 Performance Advisor main menu, and click Alerts.
2. In the Configure Alarms pane, click on a metric for which you want to set an alarm notification.
You can also filter component records in the Configure Alarms pane.
To receive an email notification, type the email address in the text box under Email Destination. By
default, email notifications are sent to administrator@localhost, which is the common destination email
address for all alarm notifications. This email address is valid till:
• You specify a different destination email address on the PA Email Settings screen. The alarm
notifications generated after this change are redirected to the new destination email address. For
more information, see Configure alarm email settings.
• You specify a different destination email address in the Email Destination box. The new email
address is applicable only for the set of records that you selected in the Alarms table.
3. To receive a SNMP notification, enter the IP address of the SNMP server that should receive and
process the notifications, in the text box under SNMP Destination. The changes are updated in the
PA database and accordingly reflected in the Email Destination box and the SNMP Destination box
for the selected component records.
