Configuring Events And Alarms [Wizard]
You can configure events and alarms using the Configuration Wizard or from the Settings option for Events and Alarms. To receive the events from the servers, OMIVV is configured as the trap destination. For 12th generation hosts and later, the SNMP trap destination must be set in iDRAC. For hosts prior to 12th generation, trap generation must be set in OMSA.
NOTE: OMIVV supports SNMP
v1 and v2 alerts for 12th generation hosts and later. For hosts earlier
than 12th generation, OMIVV supports only SNMP v1 alerts.
To
configure events and alarms:In the Initial Configuration Wizard, under Event Posting Levels, select one of the following:
- Do not post any events — Block hardware events.
- Post All Events — Post all hardware events.
- Post only Critical and Warning Events — Post only critical or warning level hardware events.
- Post only Virtualization-Related Critical and Warning Events — Post only virtualization-related critical and warning events; this is the default event posting level.
