Prerequisites
Ensure that the following prerequisites are met before you configure alarm settings:
• A valid source email address, and IP and port addresses of the SMTP servers are specified. For
more information, see “Configuring email and SNMP settings” on page 92. P9000 Performance
Advisor uses the specified SMTP server details to dispatch email notifications to the intended re-
cipients.
• Specify a community name (Public or Private) for the source SNMP server. By default, Public is
used as the community name.
You can also specify a common subject line for all the alarm (P9000 Alarm) notifications, an ap-
propriate title for the Good Information Alarm notifications, and community name (Public or Private)
for the source SNMP server. For more information on setting the above-mentioned parameters,
see “Configuring email and SNMP settings” on page 92.
IMPORTANT:
• By default, P9000 Performance Advisor dispatches Good Information alarm notifications. However,
if it is disabled, you must enable the Good Info Alarm Flag check box on the Email Settings screen
to receive the P9000 Alarm - Good Information Alarm notifications. For more information, see
“Configuring email and SNMP settings” on page 92.
• Edit is enabled only when you select the check boxes for component records, for which you want
to configure alarm notification settings.
To configure email and SNMP notifications:
1. Click Alarms in the left pane.
2. Under the Alarm Configuration tab, select the check boxes for the component records, for which
you want to provide the email and SNMP destinations.
You can also filter component records in the Alarms table. For more information, see “Filtering
records in Alarms table” on page 147.
