Dell EMC PowerVault MD 34XX/38XX Series Storage Arrays Administrator's Guide

Event monitor

An event monitor is provided with Dell EMC PowerVault Modular Disk Storage Manager. The event monitor runs continuously in the background and monitors activity on the managed storage arrays. If the event monitor detects any critical problems, it can notify a host or remote system using e-mail, Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) trap messages, or both.

For the most timely and continuous notification of events, enable the event monitor on a management station that runs 24 hours a day. Enabling the event monitor on multiple systems or having a combination of an event monitor and MD Storage Manager active can result in duplicate events, but this does not indicate multiple failures on the array.

The Event Monitor is a background task that runs independently of the Enterprise Management Window (EMW).

To use the Event Monitor, perform one of these actions:
  • Set up alert destinations for the managed device that you want to monitor. A possible alert destination would be the Dell Management Console.
  • Replicate the alert settings from a particular managed device by copying the emwdata.bin file to every storage management station from which you want to receive alerts.

Each managed device shows a check mark that indicates that alerts have been set.
