Configuring E-mail Notification
To configure the server to send e-mail alerts in response to system events, navigate
to the
System > E-mail Notification
screen. To set up e-mail alerts, you will need: (1)
the SMTP server’s IP address; and, (2) the e-mail address of each recipient who is to
receive an alert. You can set up notification for the following events:
• The server reboots due to an automatic or manual process
• A RAID 1 or 5 experiences a disk drive failure or a disk drive is removed
(degraded)
• A RAID 1 or 5 configures a spare or a new disk drive as a member (rebuilds)
• Storage space on a volume reaches 95% utilization
• The internal temperature for the server exceeds its maximum operating
temperature
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
SNMP views a network as a collection of cooperating, communicating devices that
consists of managers and agents. The Simple Network Management Protocol
monitors and manages network devices, such as computers, routers, bridges, and
hubs.
The Snap Server can act as an SNMP agent. SNMP managers collect data from
agents and configure the data. Agents respond to managers and may also send
traps, which are alerts that indicate error conditions. The server communicates with
SNMP managers in the same community. A community name is a password that
authorizes managers and agents to interact. The server only responds to managers
that belong to the same public or private community.
Default Traps
A trap is a signal from the Snap Server informing an SNMP manager program that
an event has occurred. The Snap Server supports the following default traps:
• coldStart — An SNMP agent has restarted
• linkDown — An Ethernet interface has gone off-line
• linkUp — An Ethernet interface has come online
• authenticationFailure — An attempt to query the SNMP agent using an incorrect
public or private community string was made, and resulted in a failure
• enterpriseSpecific — Snap Server-generated traps that correspond to the error-
level, warning-level, and fatal-error-level traps of the GuardianOS. These traps
contain a descriptive message that helps to diagnose a problem.
