WS Eventing alerts
For Dell PowerEdge 12
th
generation servers, you can set WS Eventing to receive WS Eventing
notifications. In iDRAC7 1.30.30, WS Eventing only supports job control events that are found in the
configuration category. WS Eventing defines a protocol for a client service (subscriber) to register
interest (a subscription) with a server web service (event source) to receive the messages containing
the server events (notifications or event messages).
To set WS Eventing for a configuration event, select the corresponding check box under WS Eventing.
