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.
