User’s Guide

Table 9-4. Alarm Actions (continued)

SNMP Trap	sends an SNMP trap to a specified management station(s).	Surveyor,
	The trap destinations are configured as part of the host con-	THGs/THGsE
	figuration for devices containing analyzer cards.
	The SNMP service must be installed and started for the trap
	to be sent. The Surveyor MIB or THGs MIB for the host will
	be available for the SNMP management station.
Execute	starts an executable file. Surveyor does not allow selection of	Local Surveyor
	a non-executable file. Executable files with extensions of	only
	.exe, .bat, or .cmd are allowed. When the Execute action is
	selected, a dialog box appears to specify the executable file.
	Only one file can be selected with each alarm condition.

You can select but not configure the E-mail, Log File, Pager, or SNMP Trap action on a remote host running Surveyor. If the settings that support these actions have not been configured correctly at the remote host, the alarm action does not occur when the alarm is triggered.

Setting an absolute value as the threshold for an alarm will trigger an action only once.

Log File Settings

There is one log file per host. All alarms on the local host go in one log file in Surveyor. To set the name of this file, select Host → Alarm Setting → Log File

Settings.

For the THGs, log information is stored at the THGs until requested by the user. THGs hosts can store about 500 alarm messages. If more than 500 alarms occur, the THGs writes over the log message with the earliest timestamp. When you want to view the file, go to Host → Alarm Setting → Log File Settings. Enter a file name, press Get Alarm Log File. The log information will be transferred to the named file in the ...\Surveyor\Log directory on the local host. Note that the dialog box for the log file name does not accept a complete path name for the THGs log file.

E-Mail Settings

Microsoft Exchange or message utilities must be installed and enabled before E- mail and pager actions can occur.

When sending E-mail, multiple addresses can be configured from the Host → Alarm Setting → E-mail Settings... menu. Setting the addresses for alarm actions is a global setting for the host. All alarms reported by Surveyor will go to the same set of E- mail addresses. For example, you cannot send some alarms to one set of e-mail addresses and some alarms to another set of e-mail addresses.
