Notification list

You can send alerts to an administrator about system-generated events through email notifications and SNMP traps.

You need to configure your email settings before you can send email notifications. To do this, go to Administration > Notification settings.

You need to configure the SNMP agent and the communities or users before you can send SNMP alerts. To do this, go to Administration > SNMP.

To turn on alerts, do as follows:

  1. Go to System services > Notification list.
  2. Turn on Email notifications to send notifications to the administrator.
  3. Turn on SNMP traps to send traps to the SNMP manager.
  4. Select the events from the list and decide whether you want email notifications, SNMP traps, or both.
  5. Click Save.
