VEA provides the option to set up rule based monitoring in response to events. Volume Replicator supports this feature and you can set up rules to detect conditions or the events that you want to monitor. The rules that are created include the actions that are performed when the product detects specified conditions. You can use the Rule Manager to set up configurations for the SNMP server and the default senders. For more information about setting up the SNMP refer to the online Help that is available from the VEA console's Help option. Select Contents from the Help menu. The Help window appears. From the Select help set drop-down list select the Optional Rules for Handling Events.
You can use variables to provide meaningful information about the alerts you monitor. Each variable is based on an alert attribute.
The list of alert attributes that are common to all the Volume Replicator messages for which the SNMP traps are generated are as follows:
Alert Severity
Alert Message
Recommended Action
Friendly Alert Name
