Email Traps
Email/Traps Select the checkbox to enable email and SNMP logging. Email logging sends an
email message to pre-defined email addresses or an SNMP trap to the designated
NMS (see
7: Services ) when alert criteria are met. Disabled by default.
Send Select notification type to send: Email , SNMP , or Both . Email is the default. Email
and SNMP logging must be enabled for this feature to work.
Trigger on Select the method of triggering a notification:
Byte Count : A specific number of bytes of data. This is the default.
Text String Recognition : A specific pattern of characters, which you can define
by a regular expression.
Note: Text string recognition may negatively impact SLC performance,
particularly when regular expressions are used.
Byte Threshold Sets the threshold for the number of bytes of data the port receives before the SLC
console manager captures log data and sends a notification. The default is
100
bytes.
In most cases, the console port of your device does not send any data unless
there is an alarm condition. After the SLC device receives a small number of
bytes, it perceives that your device needs some attention. The SLC console
manager notifies your technician when that point has been passed, and the
notification includes the logged data.
For example, a threshold preset at 30 characters means that as soon as the SLC
device receives 30 bytes of data, it captures log data and sends an email
regarding this port.
Text String Sets the specific pattern of characters the SLC console manager must recognize
before sending a notification to the technician about this port. The maximum is 100
characters. You may use a regular expression to define the pattern. For example,
the regular expression “abc[def]g” recognizes the strings abcdg, abceg, abcfg.
The SLC device supports GNU regular expressions; for more information, see:

Email Delay Sets a time limit of how long (in seconds), after the SLC console manager detects
the trigger, that the device port captures data before closing the log file (with a
fixed internal buffer maximum capacity of 1500 bytes) and sending a notification.
The default is
60 seconds.
Restart Delay Sets the number of seconds for the period after the notification has been sent
during which the device port ignores additional characters received. The data is
simply ignored and does not trigger additional alarms until this time elapses. The
default is
60 seconds.
Email to Sets the complete email address of the message recipients for each device port.
Each device port has its own recipient list. To enter more than one email address,
separate the addresses with a
single space . You can enter up to 128 characters.
