Configuring alarm events and event responses
17-10 Alarm Events and Responses
To delete an event response, highlight the event response you want to
delete, and click Delete. You will be asked to confirm the deletion.
Adding or modifying an E-Mail response
To add or modify an e-mail response follow the steps below.
1. In the E-Mail Name field, type a name for this e-mail response. The name
can consist of 1–32 characters.
2. In the E-Mail Address field, click New. The E-mail Address window
appears.
Note: To delete an existing e-mail address, highlight the address you want to delete,
and click Delete.
3. Type the e-mail address of the person you want to receive the audit and
Strikeback results, and then click Close.
4. To add another e-mail address, repeat step 1 and step 3. When you are
finished adding e-mail addresses, click Apply.
Adding or modifying a Pager response
To add or modify a Pager response, follow the steps below. When a
pager response is initiated, a number representing the type of alarm
event that was triggered will be sent to your pager. For information on
these values, see “Example alarm event scenario” on page 17-13.
Note: You may not receive a page if a shutdown_filter event causes the Sidewinder G2
to halt due to a low UPS battery. This is because the UPS may halt the Sidewinder G2 before
the modem can dial the pager number.
1. In the Pager Name field, type a name for this pager response. The name
can consist of 1–32 characters.
2. In the Pager Number field, type the pager number you want called
when an alarm event is triggered. This number will be called as soon as
the specified device (see step 3) is available. The pager number can
consist of any valid modem string.
3. In the Device field, type the name of the device being used for the
modem that will contact the pager. This device is configured in your
system’s /etc/ttys file by default.
