Conguring CMC to send alerts
You can set alerts and actions for certain events that occur on the chassis. An event occurs when the status of a system component is
greater than the pre-dened condition. If an event matches an event lter and you have congured this lter to generate an alert message
(email alert or SNMP trap), then an alert is sent to one or more congured destinations such as email address, IP address, or an external
server.
To congure CMC to send alerts:
1 Enable the Chassis Event Alerts option.
2 Optionally, lter the alerts based on category or severity.
3 Congure the email alert or SNMP trap settings.
4 Enable chassis event alerts to send an e-mail alert, or SNMP traps to congured destinations.
Topics:
• Enabling or disabling alerts
• Conguring alert destinations
Enabling or disabling alerts
To send alerts to congured destinations, you must enable the global alerting option. This property overrides the individual alert setting.
Make sure that the SNMP or email alert destinations are congured to receive the alerts.
