Chassis Events
The Critical, Warning, and Informational events are monitored by the VRTX Chassis Management
Controller (CMC) firmware and logged through Chassis Log and SEL log, and can be filtered for
sending email Alert, SNMP, Remote Syslog. The CMC monitors the chassis events, filters the events,
generates alerts, or specifies actions when an event occurs. An event occurs when the status of a
system component is outside the predefined or normal condition. If an event matches an event filter,
and if the filter is configured to generate an alert (email or SNMP trap), an alert is sent to one or
more of the configured destinations. To change a setting, click Chassis Overview > Alerts > Chassis
Events. To perform this task, you must have the Chassis Configuration Administrator privileges.
