Event Notification
When an error occurs in the ETERNUS AF, the event notification function notifies the event information to the
administrator. The administrator can be informed that an error occurred without monitoring the screen all the
time.
The methods to notify an event are e-mail, SNMP Trap, syslog, remote support, and host sense.
