Configure Notifications
You can configure event actions to occur in response to an event or group of events. These actions notify
users of the event in any of several ways:
• Active, automatic notification. The specified users or monitoring devices are contacted directly.
– E-mail notification
–SNMP traps
– Syslog notification
• Indirect notification
– Event log. If no direct notification is configured, users must check the log to determine which
events have occurred.
You can also log system performance data to use for device monitoring. See “Configure Logs”
on page 114 for information on how to configure and use this data logging option.
– Queries (SNMP GETs).
For more information, see “SNMP options” on page 102. SNMP enables an NMS to perform
informational queries. For SNMPv1, which does not encrypt data before transmission,
configuring the most restrictive SNMP access type (READ) enables informational queries
without the risk of allowing remote configuration changes.
Configure notifications by event
Path: Configuration > Notification > Event Actions > By Event
By default, logging an event is selected for all events. To define event actions for an individual event:
1. To find an event, select a column heading to see the lists under ATS (device events) or System
categories. Alternatively, you can select a sub-category under these headings, such as Security
or Power Supply.
2. Select an event name to view the current configuration, such as recipients to be notified by e-
mail, or Network Management Systems (NMSs) to be notified by SNMP traps. If no Syslog server
is configured, items related to Syslog configuration are not displayed. You can also disable event
logging or Syslog, or disable notification for specific e-mail recipients or trap receivers.
NOTE: When viewing details of an event configuration, you cannot add or remove recipients or
receivers. To add or remove recipients or receivers, see the following:
– “Identify Syslog servers” on page 114
– “Path: Configuration > Notification > E-mail > Recipients” on page 109
– “Path: Configuration > Notification > SNMP Traps > Trap Receivers” on page 111
