Set Event Alert Filtering

Description

The set event alert commands manage alert event notification by either disabling a specific critical event alert from being sent, or by enabling notification about a specific critical event alert to be sent. To prevent notification about a specific critical event alert from being sent, you block it. To enable notification about a specific critical event alert to be sent, you unblock it.

The MD storage management software supports different priorities of events (such as Informational, Warning, Critical). When you define your storage array, you can configure alerts and define how the event alerts are managed. If you have configured the storage array to send alerts, then a notification is sent to a designated recipient when a Critical event occurs. That notification can be one or all of the following types:
  • email
  • syslog
  • trap notifications

The set event alert CLI commands work on a single storage array. When you run the commands on a storage array, only that storage array is affected by the commands. Other storage arrays that have not had the CLI command run against them have the default behavior.

Blocking an event alert does not prevent the event from being posted to the system event log. All events will continue to be posted to the event log.

Syntax

Syntax to Block an Event Alert 

set blockEventAlert eventType

Syntax to Unblock an Event Alert 

set unBlockEventAlert eventType

Parameters

Parameter

Description

 
eventType

This parameter is the integer value for the event. Enter the event value in a hexadecimal format, for example, 0x280D. Always begin the hexadecimal value with 0x to indicate that it is in hexadecimal format. If you do not use 0x, the value will be interpreted as a decimal and converted to a hexadecimal value, before applying the block or unblock command. This can cause an incorrect event to be blocked or unblocked.

An error is displayed if you enter an invalid event.
