Using the Event Monitor configuration file

The Navisphere Host Agent can monitor storage-system events and
take such action as sending email or paging you if specified events
occur. The Event Monitor that ships with Navisphere Manager
provides an interactive way to define these events and actions. If you
do not have Event Monitor, you can still define such events and actions
by editing the Event Monitor configuration file.

/etc/Navisphere/Navimon.cfg

The file is self-documenting; that is, text in it describes how to define
events and the actions you want taken if the events occur. You can
test the file after editing it using the Navisphere CLI command
responsetest

, as explained in the Navisphere Command Line Interface

Reference.
