Filtering event notifications
The Management application provides notification of many different types of SAN events. If a user
wants to receive notification of certain events, you can filter the events specifically for that user.
NOTE
The e-mail filter in the Management application is overridden by the firmware e-mail filter. When the
firmware determines that certain events do not receive e-mail notification, an e-mail notification is
not sent for those events even when the event type is added to the Selected Events table in the
Define Filter dialog box. Refer to
“Setting up advanced event filtering” on page 1259 for more
information.
To configure an e-mail event, use the instructions in “Configuring e-mail notification” on
page 1256.
Syslog forwarding
NOTE
Syslog messages are only available on Fabric OS devices and HBAs (managed using the HCM Agent).
CIM events are only logged in the master log and the forwarding of CIM events is not supported.
Syslog forwarding is the process by which you can configure the Management application to send
Syslog messages to other computers. Switches only send the Syslog information through port 514;
therefore, if port 514 is being used by another application, you must configure the Management
application to listen on a different port. Then you must configure another Syslog server to listen for
Syslog messages and forward the messages to the Syslog listening port of the Management
application. Brocade HBAs only send the Syslog information through port 514; therefore, if port 514
is being used by another application, the Management application cannot send Syslog messages
to another computer.
Syslog messages are persisted in the database. You can view the Syslog messages from the
Management application. However, the Management application does not convert the Syslog
messages into event objects except for the audit Syslog messages.
For more information about Syslog forwarding, refer to “Syslog forwarding” on page 1277.
