When an administrative user selects the Config-
Notifications menu option, a screen like the one shown in
Figure 6.49 appears. The administrative user can use this screen for defining alarm triggers to generate notifications when the specified events occur. The syslogd filters what kinds of messages and takes the specified action based on the content of the messages. The administrative user specifies the notices to be sent by SNMP trap, pager or email.
The screen shown in Figure 6.49 is the default screen with no triggers listed.
To configure a notification, the administrative user clicks the Add button after selecting one of the notification methods from the menu. The dialog that appears next has different fields and menu options depending on which notification method was selected.
