Configuring Alerts
You can configure IPMI to send alert notifications about hardware events on the DSM appliance. To receive email
alerts you will need to configure your SMTP server in the IPMI GUI. You can also configure SNMP trap alerts, to be
sent to an SNMP manager.
Configure SMTP (optional - for e-mail alerts)
To receive e-mail alerts, first configure your SMTP server in the IPMI GUI as follows:
1. Log on to the IPMI GUI.
2. Click Configuration > SMTP.
3. Enter details for your SMTP mail server and click Save.
Configure an IPMI Alert (for SMTP and/or SNMP alerts)
1. In the IPMI GUI, navigate to Configuration > Alerts.
2. Select an alert from the numbered list that you want to configure and click Modify.
3. Set the severity level, the destination IP address to where you want to send the SNMP trap alert notification,
and/or an email address to which to send the notification a subject, and message if desired.
