Appendix
Event Notification
You can enable different event notifications using the “ssm.conf” file from the
Spheras directory.
Possible event notifications are
● Event log file notification
● Email notification
● SNMP trap notification
The file ssm.conf can be edited using a normal ASCII editor. For each available
variable you find an explanation text and the default value of the mentioned
variable.
See excerpt list from the ssm.conf below:
4. Notification Settings
# ========================
# Directives that control the Notification aspects of the Server
# software. These include:
#
# 4.1 File Notification <Default = No>
# 4.1.1 Log File Name <Default = None Specified>
# 4.2 Event Log Notification <Default = No>
# 4.3 Email Notification <Default = No>
# 4.3.1 SMTP Server <Default = None Specified>
# 4.3.3 Email Recipient List <Default = None Specified>
# 4.3.4 Email Sender Address <Default = None Specified>
# 4.4 SNMP Notification <Default = No>
# 4.4.1 SNMP Management Station <Default = None Specified>
# 4.4.2 SNMP Trap Port <Default = 162>
# 4.4.3 SNMP Trap Version <Default = 1>
# 4.4.4 SNMP Community String <Default = public>
Strongly recommended is to enable the Event log notification for easier debug
capability, if necessary. The events are otherwise lost, if the agents needs to be
restarted and the event log file notification is not enabled.
All other ssm.conf settings (chapter 1 through 3 and 5) should not be changed.
