Event Monitor
The default template provides logging capability only. Critical and hard errors will be logged. Do
not change this template.
Event Monitor settings
In the Monitors tab of the Navisphere UI, right-click Templates and select Create New
Template. ClarAlert will use Event Monitor, so at the minimum use these settings. If you wish to
extend alerting internally to your company, use the other options shown in Table 7.

Phone Home
Phone Home software is provided by EMC and installed on a Windows server during the
Dell/EMC installation at a new site. The newly installed Dell/EMC must be setup to talk to the
Phone Home system during installation. The Phone Home function means the environment
notifies EMC of significant events on the Dell/EMC. These events are preset during Phone Home
installation but the customer may add more events if they desire.
Best practice: Do not change the event list.
