Associating events and email addresses

You can associate any combination of cluster events with email addresses: all Alert, Warning, or
Info events, all events of one type plus a subset of another type, or a subset of all types.
The notification threshold for Alert events is 90% of capacity. Threshold-triggered notifications are
sent when a monitored system resource exceeds the threshold and are reset when the resource
utilization dips 10% below the threshold. For example, a notification is sent the first time usage
reaches 90% or more. The next notice is sent only if the usage declines to 80% or less (event is
reset), and subsequently rises again to 90% or above.
To associate all types of events with recipients, omit the -e argument in the following command:
ibrix_event -c [-e ALERT|WARN|INFO|EVENTLIST] -m EMAILLIST
Use the ALERT, WARN, and INFO keywords to make specific type associations or use EVENTLIST
to associate specific events.
The following command associates all types of events to admin@hp.com:
ibrix_event -c -m admin@hp.com
The next command associates all Alert events and two Info events to admin@hp.com:
ibrix_event -c -e ALERT,server.registered,filesystem.space.full
-m admin@hp.com

Configuring email notification settings

To configure email notification settings, specify the SMTP server and header information and turn
the notification process on or off.
ibrix_event -m on|off -s SMTP -f from [-r reply-to] [-t subject]
The server must be able to receive and send email and must recognize the From and Reply-to
addresses. Be sure to specify valid email addresses, especially for the SMTP server. If an address
is not valid, the SMTP server will reject the email.
The following command configures email settings to use the mail.hp.com SMTP server and turns
on notifications:
ibrix_event -m on -s mail.hp.com -f FM@hp.com -r MIS@hp.com -t Cluster1 Notification
NOTE: The state of the email notification process has no effect on the display of cluster events
in the GUI.

Dissociating events and email addresses

To remove the association between events and email addresses, use the following command:
ibrix_event -d [-e ALERT|WARN|INFO|EVENTLIST] -m EMAILLIST
For example, to dissociate event notifications for admin@hp.com:
ibrix_event -d -m admin@hp.com
To turn off all Alert notifications for admin@hp.com:
ibrix_event -d -e ALERT -m admin@hp.com
To turn off the server.registered and filesystem.created notifications for
admin1@hp.com and admin2@hp.com:
ibrix_event -d -e server.registered,filesystem.created -m admin1@hp.com,admin2@hp.com

Testing email addresses

To test an email address with a test message, notifications must be turned on. If the address is
valid, the command signals success and sends an email containing the settings to the recipient. If
the address is not valid, the command returns an address failed exception.
ibrix_event -u -n EMAILADDRESS
