When a Dell OpenManage event is received, two scripts are executed, one which adds the Server
Administrator launch address and another which adds the DRAC launch address in the Alert
Description field. This action enables the launching of the Server Administrator and the DRAC Web
console from the MOM console.
NOTE: The DRAC launch point is displayed in the alert descriptions for systems that have DRAC cards with the
DRAC agent installed. The DRAC launch address supports HTTPS, not HTTP.
Customizing Event Processing Rules
Event processing rules can be customized from the Event Processing Rules Properties tabs as follows:
NOTE: The information in the following list is recommended for use only by advanced users of MOM. Changing the
tabs may affect the expected behavior of the Management Pack.
• General tab: The rule can be either enabled or disabled. If an event processing rule is disabled, MOM
does not process that event and alerts are not generated.
•
Criteria tab: Additional criteria can be added to process an event.
•
Alerts tab: Generation of alerts can be either enabled or disabled.
•
Alert Suppression tab: Suppression of duplicate events can be disabled or enabled; the default is that
suppression of duplicate events is enabled.
•
Schedule tab: A schedule for the event to be processed can be added.
•
Knowledge Base tab: Additional Dell Knowledge Base information can be added.
Dell Alert Processing Rules
For all critical and warning alerts generated by Server Administrator (including the enhanced Storage
Management Service) and Array Manager events, a notification message is sent to the hardware support
notification groups.
