Configuring remote alert settings

You can configure remote alert recipients, the number of alert attempts, incidents
that trigger remote alerts, and local alerts from the Alerts link on the navigation
pane.

After you configure a remote alert recipient, the IMM sends an alert to that
recipient through a network connection when any event selected from the
Monitored Alerts group occurs. The alert contains information about the nature of
the event, the time and date of the event, and the name of the system that
generated the alert.

Note:

If the SNMP Agent or SNMP Traps fields are not set to Enabled, no SNMP
traps are sent. For information about these fields, see “Configuring SNMP”
on page 31.

Configuring remote alert recipients

You can define up to 12 unique remote alert recipients. Each link for an alert
recipient is labeled with the recipient name and alert status.

Note:

If you have not configured an alert recipient profile, the profile does not
appear in the remote alert recipients list.

To configure a remote alert recipient, complete the following steps:
1.

Log in to the IMM for which you want to configure remote alert settings. For
more information, see Chapter 2, “Opening and using the IMM Web interface,”
on page 9.
