Adding an alert policy
Use the following procedure to create an alert policy based on the Open Storage alert condition.
To add an alert policy
- In the OpsCenter console, select Manage > Alert Policies.
- Click Add. The Alert Policy Wizard appears.
- Enter a Name, Description, and Alert Condition on the General panel. For Alert Condition, select Open Storage under Device.
- Click Next.
- On the Alert Condition Properties panel, specify attributes for the Open Storage alert condition. These attributes or filters define and limit the alert. You can select or define the following attributes:
Event Severity
Select the event severity that should be evaluated for the alert condition. By default, All event severities are selected.
Event message contains words
Specify words from the event message to get alerts on specific events.
Event vendor type contains words
Specify words for vendor type to get alerts on specific events.
- Click Next.
- On the Scope panel, select the storage server that should be verified for the Open Storage alert condition. You must select at least one object, node, or view from this page. Click Next to continue.
- From the Actions panel, you can send the alert as an email or SNMP trap. You can also assign severity for the alert. In the Email Recipients and Trap Recipients sections, select email or SNMP recipients (or both) to receive the alert notification.
Note that if you create an alert policy and do not define any recipients, the alert is still displayed in the Monitor > Alerts view. In the Severity section, do the following:
Select a severity level from the Alert Severity drop-down list. (If this alert occurs, the alert is displayed in the Monitor > Alerts view.)
Select an appropriate severity level from the Severity of email/trap sent for cleared alert drop-down list. With Severity of email/trap sent for cleared alert option, you can configure the severity for an email or trap that is sent when an alert is cleared. The default severity level is Informational.
The Activate Condition option is checked by default. By default, the policy is active once you create it. Deselect the Activate Condition option if you want to deactivate the policy. You can always activate or deactivate the policy later from the OpsCenter console.
