Event notifications
Event notifications enable you to determine which system events are sent to you.
By default, OneFS is configured to log and send all critical and emergency events to PowerScale Technical Support. Additionally,
you can configure event notification rules and receive notification when an event is logged on your cluster.
Events are logged and reported according to the following severity levels:
●
Informational (Info): The event is informational and does not require any administrator action.
●
Warning (Warn): The event might be a cause for concern and likely requires some administrator action.
●
Critical (Crit): The event should be reviewed and an administrator action is required.
●
Emergency (Emerg): The event should be reviewed and might be time-sensitive. An administrator action is required.
You can configure the cluster to notify you only when an event of a particular severity has occurred for a particular feature area.
For example, you can configure an event notification rule to send you an email if a critical file system event occurs that might
potentially cause the cluster to be unwritable.
Event notification methods
You can define the method by which OneFS delivers notifications.
You can send email messages to distribution lists and apply email templates to notifications. You can also
specify SMTP, authorization, and security settings.
SNMP trap
You can send SNMP traps to one or more network monitoring stations or trap receivers. Each event
can generate one or more SNMP traps. You can download management information base files (MIBs)
from the cluster at
/usr/local/share/snmp/mibs/
. The
ISILON-TRAP-MIB.txt
file describes
the traps that the cluster can generate, and the
ISILON-MIB.txt
file describes the associated varbinds
that accompany the traps.
SRS
You can receive alerts from Secure Remote Services (SRS), which is a secure, IP-based customer service
support system.
SRS can:
●
Send alerts regarding the health of devices.
●
Enable support personnel to gather data from devices.
●
Allow support personnel to establish remote access to troubleshoot the cluster.
Managing event notification rules
You can create, modify, or delete event notification rules to determine when and how you receive information about specific
system events.
