Administrator Guide

To add Linux syslog logging (Linux only):
• Add the StSysLogAppender string to thelog4cplus.rootLogger entry. For example, log4cplus.rootLogger=WARN,
file, StSysLogAppender
SNMP
SNMP is another avenue that the Server Hardware Manager Monitor uses to present events to the user. Only critical events are sent by
using SNMP. The
Server Hardware Manager Monitor sends traps to destinations that are contained in the Server Hardware Manager
Monitor configuration file (SHM.config).
The Server Hardware Manager Monitor configuration file is located in the installation directory. The following is the default location of the
configuration files.
NOTE:
SNMP traps are generated only for critical events.

ServerHardwareManagerMonitor/bin/SHM.config
Although the Server Hardware Manager Monitor runs automatically after installation, configure a trap destination in the configuration file
for SNMP to function correctly. A trap destination has the following format:
ip=ipaddress[:port]
For example,
ip=192.168.1.1:1050
• Address — The IP address of the destination
• Port — Port on the target server the trap receiver listens
See the documentation of the trap listener for the port number it uses. If no port is specified, Storage Enclosure Monitor sends traps to
the default port – 162.
To enable or disable the SNMP server, under the “[SHMSYSTEM]” section, if SNMP value is ON, the SNMP server runs; if the value
does not exist or is OFF, the server is disabled.
NOTE:
After any changes are made to the SNMP configuration file, stop and start the service or daemon for changes to
take effect.
Events
The Server Hardware Manager Monitor logs all event types. However, SNMP sends only critical events to the trap destination. This list
outlines the critical or warning events:
• Power supply unit (PSU)
• PSU is removed
• DC voltage goes out of range of safe operating values
• DC current goes out of range of safe operating values
• Fan is removed
• Temperature sensor
• Temperature of enclosure is more than or less than critical threshold
• Voltage sensor
• Voltage goes more than or less than a critical threshold
