Configuring platform event traps
The Platform Event Trap Configuration screen lets you configure platform event traps and set
up notifications when the policies are triggered. Any PEF action that you want to allow a sensor
to trigger must be checked, then you must click Apply. For information on configuring individual
sensor’s PEFs (platform event flags), see “Monitoring sensors and setting PEFs (platform event
flags)” on page 4.
To configure the platform event trap:
1 From the BMC Web server main screen, click PET Configuration on the left side of the
screen. The Platform Event Trap Configuration screen opens.
2 Select Enabled in the PEF Enable list.
3 Click the check box of any action that you want the sensors to trigger. Click Apply. Options
are:
• Alert—To send an alert notification to an alert destination (see below).
• PowerOff—To turn off the power to the server.
• Reset—To do a warm reboot of the server (like pressing the Reset button).
• PowerCycle—To turn off the power to the server, then turn it back on.
• OEM—Do not select (reserved for system use).
• NMI—Causes the operating system to dump core.
4 Under PET Destinations, enter both the Destination IP Address and the MAC Address
for every SNMP management station to which you want notifications sent, then click Apply
for each.
