Selecting Individual Events for Notification
As described in the reference guide , you can configure how and under what
conditions the storage system alerts you when specific events occur. In addition to
selecting event categories, as a Diagnostic Manage user you can select individual
events that you want to be notified of.
Note – Selecting many individual events can result in the system sending numerous
event notifications. Select the categories and individual events that are most
important to you.
Use this method when you want to track or watch for a specific event. You can also
use it to receive notification of specific functions being started or completed, such
as reconstruction or completion of initialization.
Individual event selections do not override the Notification Enabled or Event
Categories settings as explained in the
reference guide . If the notification is
disabled, the individual event selection is ignored. Similarly, Event Categories
settings have higher precedence for enabling events than individual event selection.
If the critical event category is selected, all critical events cause a notification
regardless of the individual critical event selection. You can select individual events
to fine-tune notification either instead of or in addition to selecting event categories.
For example, you can select the critical event category to be notified of all critical
events, and then select additional individual warning and informational events.
To select events for notification:
1. Select Manage > Event Notification > Select Individual Events.
The Critical Events page is displayed.
2. From the Manage menu, display the page for the type of event you want to track:
■
Critical Events – Represent serious device status changes that might require
immediate intervention.
■
Warning Events – Represent device status changes that might require attention.
■
Informational Virtual Disk Events – Represent device status changes related to
virtual disks that usually do not require attention.
■
Informational Drive Events – Represent device status changes related to disk
drives that do not require attention.
■
Informational Health Events – Represent device status changes related to the
storage system’s health that usually do not require attention.
