9.1 Monitoring System
Events
The MegaRAID Storage Manager utility monitors the activity and performance of all
controllers in the system and the storage devices connected to them. When an event
occurs (such as the creation of a new virtual drive or the removal of a drive) an event
message appears in the log at the bottom of the MegaRAID Storage Manager main
menu screen, as shown in Figure178.
You can use MegaRAID Storage Manager to alert you about events. There are settings
are for the delivery of alerts, the severity level of events, exceptions, and e-mail settings.
Figure 178: Event Information Window
Each message that appears in the event log has a severity level that indicates the
importance of the event, as shown in Table133, a date and timestamp, and a brief
description. You can click an event to display the same information in a window. (For a
list of all events, see Appendix A, Events and Messages).
