Events and alerts

A source is used to configure the receiving of external events and syslog content.

A destination is used to configure the ability to send events and alerts information out. A destination is always external. SupportAssist, email, SNMP, and remote syslog are considered destinations.

Notification policies define what information is sent to each destination. Events and alerts exist irrespective of whether notification policies are created.

SNMP sources are not automatically discovered and must be configured to receive events about these sources. PowerFlex Manager is preconfigured and events, and alerts are automatically available. Resources in the PowerFlex rack, PowerFlex appliance, and VxFlex Ready Node are automatically discovered. Any future resources, for example, switch replacements or additional nodes, are considered external and must be added manually as sources.
