Configuring Alerts
Alerts can be set up and managed using the CLI or GUI.
The use of "wild cards" in the name of an object that is configured for an alert is available. That is,
for the "object" keyword when defining alerts in the CLI the last character of the name may be
"*". In this case, all objects of that type whose name matches up to the "*" will be configured for
the same alert.
For example, consider the following configured alert:
eqcli> user touch alert al_switch alert_type state_change notify_type
ui,syslog object_type interface object swport* subject"Testing switchd
alerts"
"
This configures this alert for all switch ports . A wild card "*" could have been used.
There only restriction is that the "*" must either be the only character in the object name, or the
last character of the object name., (i.e., "object *sv*" is not allowed.)
Enter the following in the CLI to show the alert configuration:
eqcli user-tou*> show alert al_switch
Alert Name : al_switch
Object Type : interface
Object : swport*
Alert Type : state_change
Notify Type : ui, syslog
From Email Address :
Email Addresses :
Subject : Testing switchd alerts
eqcli user-tou*>
