Configuring Snmp Alerts - Linksys NSS4000 Series Administrator's Manual

Configuring SNMP Alerts

The NSS can send SNMP traps to alert you of various system events. If you download and install the
NSS's SNMP MIB, you get a more human readable version of alerts displayed on your SNMP
management station.
To define SNMP Trap Sinks:
1. From the Manager Menu, click Admin
The SNMP Trapsinks page appears.
2. To install the NSS MIB on your management station, click Download.
3. Save and install the MIB to your management station. For more information on installing and
integrating the NSS MIB into your management station, refer to the management station
documentation.
4. Enter the IP address or hostname for the management station to which you want to send the
alerts.
5. Select the checkbox for each type of trap sink for which you want to send alerts to the SNMP
server. You can set up an alert for any of the following:
• Disk: When the following occurs: 1) a drive is predicted to fail by S.M.A.R.T., 2) a drive is
above temperature threshold, 3) a volume is more than 90% full.
• RAID: When any of the following occurs: 1) a RAID goes into a degraded state, 2) a RAID is
in a degraded state and will be deactivated (the alert advises the time at which the RAID will
be deactivated), 3) a RAID goes into a failed state, 4) a RAID is deactivated, 5) a RAID is
rebuilt, 6) a RAID is created.
• Snapshot: When a snapshot reserve is more than 90% full.
• Quota: When a user or group is over their quota.
• Backup: When a backup job completes.
