HP RISS Components manual Email Reporter, Receiving Snmp events by email, Setting Snmp Community

Receiving SNMP events by email

If you do not have a monitoring management server, you can receive SNMP notifications via email. This option is also useful if you are away from the office.

To enable the service, enter your email address or the email address of the person who will receive the notifications, and click Add.

Repeat this step if you want to add more recipients.

You can disable or delete an email recipient by clicking the radio button in front of the person’s name, then clicking Disable or Delete.

NOTE:

The mail host’s IP address must be entered in the Email Reports view for SNMP email notifications to be sent. See "Detailed email reports" on page 76 for more information.

Setting SNMP Community

An SNMP community string is a text string that acts as a password. It is used to authenticate messages that are sent between the management station (the SNMP manager) and the device (the SNMP agent). The community string is included in every packet that is transmitted between the SNMP manager and the SNMP agent.

Email Reporter

Use the Email Reporter to configure summary monitoring reports that are sent periodically to your chosen email recipients.

You can select the information to be sent and the frequency of the reports— from every 2 hours to every 24 hours. These reports can include system status, storage rates, node health, and other information from the PCC views.
