Sample Event Rules
Sample PDU-Level Event Rule
In this example, we want the PDU to record the firmware upgrade failure in the internal log when it happens.
The event rule involves:
•
Event: Device > Firmware update failed
•
Action: System Event Log Action
To create this PDU-level event rule:
1.
For an event at the PDU level, select "Device" in the Event field.
2.
Select "Firmware update failed" so that the PDU responds to the event related to firmware upgrade failure.
3.
To make the PDU record the firmware update failure event in the internal log, select "System Event Log Action" in the
Available Actions field.
Sample Outlet-Level Event Rule
In this example, we want the PDU to send SNMP notifications to the SNMP manager for any sensor change event of outlet
3.
The event rule involves:
•
Event: Outlet > Outlet 3 > Sensor > Any sub-event
•
Action: System SNMP Notification Action
To create this outlet-level event rule:
1.
For an event at the outlet level, select "Outlet" in the Event field.
2.
Select "Outlet 3" because that is the desired outlet.
3.
Select "Sensor" to refer to sensor-related events.
4.
Select "Any sub-event" to include all events related to all sensors of this outlet and all thresholds, such as current,
voltage, upper critical threshold, upper warning threshold, lower critical threshold, lower warning threshold, and so on.
5.
To make the PDU send SNMP notifications, select "System SNMP Notification Action" in the Available Actions field.
Note: The SNMP notifications may be SNMP v2c or SNMP v3 traps/informs, depending on the settings for the System
SNMP Notification Action. See Enabling and Configuring SNMP (on page 193).
