Health monitor alerts

A health monitor alert is a notification mechanism that

  • provides email, SNMP, or syslog notifications when module status changes occur,

  • enables association of alert responses with health event levels to trigger notifications based on event severity, and

  • allows customization to monitor specific system conditions such as disk space thresholds.

Disk space monitoring alert example

If you are concerned that your appliances may run out of hard disk space, you can automatically send an email to a system administrator when the remaining disk space reaches the warning level. If the hard drive continues to fill, you can send a second email when the hard drive reaches the critical level.
