Managing Alerts, Displaying Alerts | Sun Microsystems X4150 guide

Managing Alerts

The system is equipped with sensors that read several system critical parameters, such as voltages and temperatures. The system monitors these sensors and creates an alert when a sensor reading crosses an upper or lower critical threshold level (for more information, see “Configuring Platform Event Filters” on page 30).

You can manage these alerts, by using the CLI to create filters that trap alerts based on the sensor type. You can then have the filters perform various preconfigured actions in response to the alert. Configuring alerts with the CLI is a two step process. First, configure a destination IP address in the PET. Second, configure a platform event filter (PEF) to enable and perform various alert-triggered actions.

You manage alerts from the /SP/AgentInfo namespace, using the show and set commands. The show command allows you to display current alert property and value settings. The set command allows you to configure alert property and value settings.

Displaying Alerts

Use the show command to display PET and PEF targets, properties, and values.

▼To Display Alerts

●To display targets, properties, and target commands for PET, enter the following command:

show /SP/AgentInfo/PET.

●To display targets, properties, and target commands for PEF, enter the following command:

show /SP/AgentInfo/PEF

Before configuring alerts, you might want to display a target’s current settings. This allows you to examine the current status of alerts. Use the cd command and the show command, respectively, to navigate to targets and display property values. For example:

–>cd /SP/AgentInfo/PET

/SP/AgentInfo/PET –> show
