Alerts

Use MM Control → Alerts page to perform the following tasks:

• Define remote alert recipients
• Define global remote alert settings
• Define monitored alerts

Select Remote Alert Recipients to view a list of all users who must be notified about system events. Click a user name to display a secondary page where you can specify which event notifications are sent, how they are sent (SNMP, e-mail, or IBM Director), where they are sent (e-mail address), and whether the recipient currently is allowed to receive notifications. Click Generate Test Alert to make sure that the remote alert recipients will receive the alerts.

Select Global Remote Alert Settings to specify how many times the system attempts to send an alert, how long a delay is observed between retries, and whether to include the event log with the notification.

Select Monitored Alerts to specify which events (from lists of critical, warning, and system alerts) are monitored, and other alert parameters. The specific alerts that you select apply to all configured alert recipients. If the alert is recoverable, an informational alert is sent in the same category to indicate that a recovery has occurred.

The following illustration shows a Monitored Alerts page.

The following table shows how the legacy and enhanced alert categories map to each other.
