5 Configuring cluster event notification

Cluster events

You can be notified of cluster events by email or SNMP traps. To view the list of supported events,

use the command ibrix_event –q.

There are three major categories for events, depending on ttheir severity.

Alerts. Disruptive events that can result in loss of access to file system data.

Warnings. Potentially disruptive conditions where file system access is not lost, but if the situation is not

addressed, it can escalate to an alert condition.

Information. Normal events that change the cluster.

The following chart includes examples of important events that can trigger notification by email or

SNMP traps.

Setting up email notification of cluster events

You can set up event notifications by event type or for one or more specific events. To set up

automatic email notification of cluster events, associate the events with email recipients and then

configure email settings to initiate the notification process.

Associating events and email addresses

You can associate any combination of cluster events with email addresses: all Alert, Warning, or

Info events, all events of one type plus a subset of another type, or a subset of all types.
