Configuring iDRAC to send alerts
You can set alerts and actions for certain events that occur on the managed system. An event occurs
when the status of a system component is greater than the pre-defined condition. If an event matches an
event filter and you have configured this filter to generate an alert (e-mail, SNMP trap, IPMI alert, remote
system logs, Redfish event, or WS events), then an alert is sent to one or more configured destinations. If
the same event filter is also configured to perform an action (such as reboot, power cycle, or power off
the system), the action is performed. You can set only one action for each event.
To configure iDRAC to send alerts:
1. Enable alerts.
2. Optionally, you can filter the alerts based on category or severity.
3. Configure the e-mail alert, IPMI alert, SNMP trap, remote system log, Redfish event, operating system
log, and/or WS-event settings.
4. Enable event alerts and actions such as:
• Send an email alert, IPMI alert, SNMP traps, remote system logs, Redfish event, operating system
log, or WS events to configured destinations.
• Perform a reboot, power off, or power cycle the managed system.
