Sample Event Rules
Sample PDU-Level Event Rule
In this example, we want the PX to record the firmware upgrade failure in
the internal log when it happens. The sample event rule looks like this:
 Event: Device > Firmware update failed
 Actions: System Event Log Action
To create the above event rule:
1. Select Event > Device to indicate we are specifying an event at the
PDU level.
2. Select "Firmware update failed" in the submenu because we want
the PX to respond to the event related to firmware upgrade failure.
3. Select System Event Log Action as we intend to record the firmware
update failure event in the internal log.
Sample Outlet-Level Event Rule
In this example, we want the PX to send SNMP notifications to the
SNMP manager for any sensor change event of outlet 3.
Note: The SNMP notifications may be SNMP v2c or SNMP v3 traps or
informs, depending on the settings for the System SNMP Notification
Action. See
Configuring SNMP Notifications (on page 332).
To do that we would set up an event rule like this:
 Event: Outlet > Outlet 3 > Sensor > Any sub-event
 Actions: System SNMP Notification Action
To create the above event rule:
1. Select Event > Outlet to indicate we are specifying an event at the
outlet level.
2. Select "Outlet 3" from the submenu because that is the outlet in
question.
3. Select "Sensor" to refer to sensor events.
4. Select "Any sub-event" because we want to specify all events related
to all types of outlet sensors and thresholds, such as current, voltage,
upper critical threshold, upper warning threshold, lower critical
threshold, lower warning threshold, and so on.
5. Select "System SNMP Notification Action" to send SNMP
notifications to respond to the specified event.
Then the SNMP notifications are sent when:
