Dell EMC Metro node 7.1 Events and Alerts Reference Guide

Test alerts confirm the functionality of the notifications service.When user clicks the Test Alerts button, then three type of test alerts (Platform, Monitor, and SMS) generate, and that confirms the flow of the events to alerts.

The user has been provided with the option to disable the test alerts. If one of the test alerts is disabled, then that alert is not displayed in the UI, but it is stored in the database.

If both the alerts are disabled, then none of the test alerts are generated. If SMTP is configured, then TEST mail is also generated to the provided email address.

Steps to generate Test Alerts

1. In the UI, go to the Settings.
2. Select Notifications from drop-down. The Configure Alerts page is displayed.
3. Select the Test Alerts from MORE drop-down.

   

4. A confirmation window is displayed, select the type of alert-Platform, Monitor, and SMS.
5. A Test Alert Result window is displayed, click the CLOSE to close the window.

Ensure that when you generate the test alerts, the previous test alerts are closed. If the previous test alerts are not closed, then those alerts can be closed from the live alerts listing page.

If you view the remote director's alert from UI and you go to Configuration Alerts page and generate test alerts, then it generates the test alerts only for the director IP you are logged on to and NOT on the remote director.
