Administrator alarm notifications
The ClusterCATS alarm notification feature provides instant feedback about critical
events that take place within a cluster. When an event triggers an alarm, ClusterCATS
notifies one or more people by e-mail. The events that can trigger a notification are listed
below.
If an event you selected occurs, ClusterCATS sends an e-mail message to the designated
person. The following table explains the notification schedule for each event.
This section describes the following:
