♦ Report monitoring event
- The alert function is based on the event information registered in the event log of the system.
Thus, set the event log process on the event viewer to [Overwrite events as needed]. The monitoring
event is not alerted in the setting other than that.
- The event registered in the monitoring event tree on the setting tool of alert function (Alert Manager) is
not alerted to the manager if Alert Manager Main Service does not operate. Even when the service is
operating, if the enabled/disabled flag of each alerting ways is disabled, the event is not alerted.
The alert enabled/disabled flag is set by selecting [Base Setting] - [Report] Properties from [Setting] of
Alert Manager. Also the event occurred before Event log Service started at the time of system startup
cannot be alerted.
- You can set the time to the shutdown by selecting [Base Setting] - [Other] on the setting tool of the alert
function (Alert Manager). The initial value is 20 seconds.
When you set smaller value than this, the alert cannot be performed at the time of shutdown.
- When an alert failure occurs at the time of alerting of monitoring target event, an error message is
logged in the event log. If newly log the error message which occurs at the time of alerting as a
monitoring target event, the error at the time of alerting will be alerted again.
As a result, large number of alerts will be sent when recovering the failure. This leads to the increase of
system load and the degradation of the performance. Do not register the events especially which are
produced by the following alert function services as the monitoring target.
- Alert Manager Main Service
- Alert Manager Socket(S) Service
- (Alert Manager ALIVE(S) Service)*
(*) Alert Manager ALIVE(S) Service is the service registered only when Express Report Service
or NEC ESMPRO Manager is installed.
- On Manager Alert (SNMP) in alert report function, the length of messages should be up to 511 bytes.
When reporting a message with the length longer than 512 bytes, the 512th and the later message do
not appear on the alert viewer. Check the 512th and the later message on the event viewer on the
machine that sends the report.
If you want to display all the messages later than the 512th, use Manager Alert (TCP/IP In-Band).
