Configuring Alerts
Introduction You can configure alert messages that notify you about appliance-related events. You can
also determine what action the appliance should take when an event causes an alert, such
as sending an email to the appliance administrator, or running an executable in response
to the event.
Alert types You can enable three types of sensor event alerts:
● Error. These alerts notify you when a sensor system error has occurred.
● Warning. These alerts notify you when a problem has occurred on the appliance itself.
● Informative. These alerts notify you about what actions users may have performed on
the appliance, such as changing passwords, downloading logs, or editing a parameter.
System alerts and
SNMP
Through the Configuration Menu on the appliance, you can configure the appliance to
send SNMP traps in the event of system health-related events such as the following:
● no free disk space
● disk failure
● overly-high CPU usage
When the appliance detects these problems, it can send an SNMP trap to the SNMP
receiver that was specified. These system-related alerts can be sent as SNMPv1 or SNMP
v2c traps. See “SNMP configuration” on page 27 for information about configuring SNMP
system health-related alerts.
Supported
hardware alerts for
G400 and G2000
You cannot send SNMP alerts on HDD failures on G400 or G2000.
To enable hardware alerts, you must log in as an administrator and enable SNMP through
the SNMP Configuration menu.
The G400 supports the following hardware alerts:
● BIOS ECC Error
● BIOS Post Error
● Chassis Intrusion
● FRB Failure
● Fan Failure
● Fatal NMI
● Power supply fault
● Temperature out of range
● Voltage out of range
● System restart
Important: These hardware alerts are not supported on G2000 or EX6000.
