Configure iDRAC alerts for Redfish events
9 Manage iDRAC alerts by using the Redfish Eventing feature in YX3X and later PowerEdge servers
2.3 Configure Redfish alert subscriptions
You can subscribe to Redfish Alert events by creating event subscriptions as defined by the DMTF Redfish
event subscription service. iDRAC supports two styles of subscriptions—SSE and HTTP Push based. By
default, this feature does not require any additional iDRAC license, but requires Redfish service and Redfish
Event Service (iDRAC alerts) to be enabled to receive redfish alert events.
2.3.1 Push Style Subscription (HTTP POST)

operation with necessary key-value payload comprising Destination, Context, and Protocol as mandatory
properties.

creates alert subscription:
• Operation: HTTP POST
