2.9 Event Management

Event Management enables or disables event notifications. When an event is detected, the controller will alert you by the

specified notification methods. All the events will be recorded in the controller. You are allowed to erase and download the

log, and send a test email of events.

2.9.1 Setting up the SMTP

The controller can notify you when an event occurs by sending a mail to the specified user account. Specify the following

options for event configurations.

Add Event Receivers

You can add a maximum of three mail recipients. Click Add to set the receiver ID, mail receiver address, and the

corresponding severity level.

Remove Event Receivers

Select the mail recipient(s) you want to delete and click Remove. The selected mail recipients are deleted.

Modify Event Receivers

Select a mail recipient you want to change for its mail address and the event severity level. Click Modify to enter the

settings screen.

2.9.2 Setting up the SNMP

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a widely used protocol based on TCP/IP for monitoring the health of

network-attached equipments. The RAID controller is equipped with an embedded SNMP Agent to support SNMP-based

monitoring. You can use SNMP applications (SNMP v1 or v2c-compliant) at remote computers to get event notification by

SNMP traps and watch the status of a RAID system. Please contact your RAID system provider to get the MIB

(Management Information Base) file and import the MIB file to your SNMP manager before enabling this feature.
