Red Hat NETWORK SATELLITE 5.1.0 - CHANNEL MANAGEMENT, Справочное руководство

Страница: 184 / 300

Note
You can halt or redirect almost all probe notifications by replying to a notification
emails with a variation of the command
ack suspend host
. However, you
cannot halt Satellite probe notifications by responding to a probe with
ack
suspend host
or other redirect responses. These probes require you to change
the notifications within the web interface of the Satellite.
4.4. Filtering Notifications
Since notifications can be generated whenever a probe changes state, simple changes in your
network can result in a flood of notifications. The creation, cancellation, and application of
Notification filters is discussed in detail in Section 10.2.1, “Notification # Filters” .
4.5. Deleting Notification Methods
Theoretically, removing notification methods should be as easy as creating them. After all, you
must populate no fields to conduct the deletion and a button exists for this explicit purpose.
However, existing relationships between methods and probes can complicate this process.
Follow these steps to remove a notification method:
1. Log into the RHN website as an Satellite Administrator or Monitoring Administrator.
2. Navigate to the Monitoring # Notifications page and click the name of the method to be
removed.
3. On the User Details # Notification Methods tab, click delete method. If the method is not
associated with any probes, you are presented with a confirmation page. Click Confirm
Deletion. The notification method is removed.
Tip
Since both the notification method name and address can be edited, consider
updating the method rather than deleting it. This redirects notifications from all
probes using the method without having to edit each probe and create a new
notification method.
4. If the method is associated with one or more probes, you are presented with a list of the
probes using the method and the systems to which the probes are attached instead of a
confirmation page. Click the probe name to go directly to the System Details # Probes tab.
5. On the System Details # Probes tab, select another notification method and click Update
Probe.
