3.7. UPS alarm log
The UPSLink deals with UPS alarms in various ways such as SNMP v1 trap or v2c notification, Email
and logging into local system memory or outside location.
To deliver SNMP trap message or alarm email, users have to give the UPSLink SNMP trap receiver’s
IP addresses and community in SNMP configuration menu and have to give email recipients’ email
address.
The UPS alarm log can be stored in the UPSLink internal memory, the mounting point on an NFS
server or the SYSLOG server. Hence the internal memory is a volatile, to preserve the system log data,
set the storage location to be the SYSLOG server or NFS server. To do this, the user must configure
the corresponding media as a logging server and the SYSLOG or NFS features in UPSLink’s Network.
Unless the media is properly set up, the user will not be able to select a storage location from the
interface.
Even though the storage location of UPS alarm log is selected as NFS server of SYSLOG server,
the UPS alarm logs will be stored in the UPSLink’s internal memory as well.
Alarm emails are sent in two forms, brief or detailed. Detailed messages contain additional UPS
status information to the alarm information.
