Conguring CMC to send alerts

You can set alerts and actions for certain events that occur on the chassis. An event occurs when the status of a system component

is greater than the pre-dened condition. If an event matches an event lter and you have congured this lter to generate an alert

message (email alert or SNMP trap), then an alert is sent to one or more congured destinations such as email address, IP address,

or an external server.

To congure CMC to send alerts:

1. Enable the Chassis Event Alerts option.

2. Optionally, lter the alerts based on category or severity.

3. Congure the email alert or SNMP trap settings.

4. Enable chassis event alerts to send an e-mail alert, or SNMP traps to congured destinations.

Enabling or disabling alerts

To send alerts to congured destinations, you must enable the global alerting option. This property overrides the individual alert

setting.

Make sure that the SNMP or email alert destinations are congured to receive the alerts.

Enabling or disabling alerts using CMC web interface

To enable or disable generating alerts:

1. In the left pane, click Chassis Overview → Alerts.

2. On the Chassis Events page, under the Chassis Alert Enablement section, select the Enable Chassis Event Alerts option to

enable, or clear the option to disable the alert.

3. To save the settings, click Apply.

Enabling or disabling alerts using RACADM

To enable or disable generating alerts, use the cfgAlertingEnable RACADM object. For more information, see the Dell Chassis

Management Controller for PowerEdge FX2/FX2s RACADM Command Line Reference Guide.

Filtering alerts

You can lter alerts on the basis of category and severity.

Conguring alert destinations

The management station uses Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to receive data from CMC.

You can congure the IPv4 and IPv6 alert destinations, email settings, and SMTP server settings, and test these settings.

Before conguring the email alert or SNMP trap settings, make sure that you have the Chassis Conguration Administrator privilege.

Conguring SNMP trap alert destinations

You can congure the IPv6 or IPv4 addresses to receive the SNMP traps.
