Viewing Information About Existing Alerts
Click an alert in the SNMP Alert List to display the properties for existing
SNMP alerts. See Table 4-9 for descriptions.
NOTE: During the first 40 seconds after a DRAC 4 reset, the DRAC 4 is
synchronizing with the system BMC and the managed system service. If an alert
is generated during this time, some of the values may be reported as "unknown."
The time field contains the number of seconds since DRAC 4 startup. After
synchronization has completed, all values are reported correctly.
Testing an Alert
NOTE: You must have Test Alert permission to test an alert, otherwise this option
will not be available.
You can force an alert to be sent to the specified destination IP address. In the
SNMP Alert List, click Test Alert next to the alert you want to test.
NOTE: Only users with Test Alerts permission will have the Test Alert option
available next to their names.
