Enable Alerts
This check box causes an alert to be sent when an event associated with the selected event lter
occurs. If the box is not checked, or if the global enable for alerts is not enabled, no alert is sent.
Policy Number Associated With This Event Filter
This drop-down box allows you to specify an alert policy number to be associated with the event
lter. This setting is enabled only if the Enable Alerts box is checked; a valid policy number must be
chosen if alerts are enabled.
The drop-down list shows the valid policy numbers, between 1 and 15. You will assign policy numbers
to policy table entryies when you click the Congure Policies button.
Chassis Action Associated With This Event Filter
This drop-down box allows you to select the chassis action that is associated with the selected event
lter. Chassis actions include power down, power cycle, reset, diagnostic interrupt, and none. For
any chassis action to occur, it must be globally enabled on the Platform Event Filter Conguration
screen.
Congure Policies Button
This button provides access to the screen that displays the current settings of all entries in the policy
table, where you dene the settings associated with the policy numbers used in the Policy number
associated with this event lter drop-down box.
Alert Policy Table
The gure on the following page shows all the entries in the alert policy table, regardless of whether
any settings are associated with a particular entry. All entries are shown because the entries in the
table are order-dependent, so that when an alert occurs, entries in the table are processed from top
to bottom as the rmware attempts to match table entries with the policy number associated with
the event that caused the alert. By seeing all entries, you are able to ensure that the entries are in
the correct order.
One use of the policy table is to be able to specify multiple destinations for alerts that occur. This can
be done by assigning the same policy number to multiple entries in the table; but specifying different
destinations in the destination eld. If one policy is associated with multiple entries in the policy table,
you can further rene the destinations that receive alerts by using the policy type.
Because the rmware goes through the table in order from top to bottom, when an event occurs,
the table is searched in order for entries in which the policy number matches the policy number
associated with the event lter. Therefore, the alert is sent to the destinations in the order in which
they are encountered in the policy table. Make sure the destinations appear in the table in the desired
order.
