Viewing Information About Existing Alerts

Click an alert in the SNMP Alert List to display the properties for existing SNMP alerts. See Tab le 4-9 for descriptions.
NOTE: During the first 40 seconds after a DRAC 4 reset, the DRAC 4 is synchronizing with the system
BMC and the managed system service. If an alert is generated during this time, some of the values may
be reported as "unknown." The time field contains the number of seconds since DRAC 4 startup.
After synchronization has completed, all values are reported correctly.
