Dell OpenManage Server Administrator Version 7.4 User's Guide

Alert Management

Subtabs: Alert Actions | Platform Events | SNMP Traps

Under the Alert Management tab, you can:

View current alert actions settings and set the alert actions that you want to be performed in the event that a system component sensor returns a warning or failure value.
View current Platform Event Filter settings and set the Platform Event Filtering actions to be performed in the event that a system component sensor returns a warning or failure value. You can also use the Configure Destination option to select a destination (IPv4 or IPv6 address) where an alert for a platform event is to be sent.
- NOTE: Server Administrator does not display the scope ID of the IPv6 address in its graphical user interface.
View current SNMP trap alert thresholds and set the alert threshold levels for instrumented system components. The selected traps are triggered if the system generates a corresponding event at the selected severity level.
- NOTE: Alert actions for all potential system component sensors are listed on the Alert Actions window, even if they are not present on your system. Setting alert actions for system component sensors that are not present on your system has no effect.
- NOTE: On any Microsoft Windows operating system, the Advanced System Settings > Advanced Recovery option in the operating system must be disabled to make sure that Server Administrator Automatic System Recovery alerts are generated.
