Alert Management
Subtabs: Alert Actions | Platform Events | SNMP Traps
Under the Alert Management tab, you can:
• View current alert actions settings and set the alert actions that you want to be performed in the event
that a system component sensor returns a warning or failure value.
• View current Platform Event Filter settings and set the Platform Event Filtering actions to be performed
in the event that a system component sensor returns a warning or failure value. You can also use the
Configure Destination option to select a destination where an alert for a platform event is to be sent.
• View current SNMP trap alert thresholds and set the alert threshold levels for instrumented system
components. The selected traps will be triggered if the system generates a corresponding event at the
selected severity level.
NOTE: Alert actions for all potential system component sensors are listed on the Alert Actions window, even
if they are not present on your system. Setting alert actions for system component sensors that are not
present on your system has no effect.
Session Management
Subtabs: Session
Under the Session Management tab, you can:
• View session information for current users that have logged in to Server Administrator.
• Terminate user sessions.
NOTE: Only users with administrative privileges can view the Session Management page and terminate
session(s) of logged-in users.
