Read-onlyAlert ID. The alert ID uniquely
identifies an outstanding alert on some
id
object within the system. Alert IDs are
automatically generated by the InForm
OS and increment when a new alert
on a new object is detected. Note also
that if an alert is generated on an
object and alerts already exist in the
system, the alert ID is removed. For
alert state traps, the alert ID will be the
same as the ID of the trap that
indicated the original problem.
Read-onlyCode that identifies the specific type
of alert or alert state change. For
messageCode
example, the message code for the
alert state change is 1245186. For
alerts, use the message code in
referring to the HP 3PAR InForm OS
Messages and Operator’s Guide for
instructions on prescribed operator

between 0 and 5. See the HP 3PAR
state
MIB for definitions for each integer.
Alert states enable users to maintain
detailed tracking of alerts throughout
their life cycle.
alertNotify Traps
An alertNotify trap contains details about an event that may affect system operations and
performance. All alerts generated by the system as well as all alert status change events are
translated into alertNotify traps.
The following example shows an alertNotify trap translated from an alert:
sysUpTime.0:0 hours, 28 minutes, 1 seconds.
