Integration Appliance Monitoring Options
Overview of monitoring options available on the Integration Appliance.
The Integration Appliance logs system events, such as a fan failing or Standby machine assuming the active role in an HA pair. You can view these system events from the Web Management Console (WMC). When system events occur, individual users as well as network management systems can receive notification alerts from the Integration Appliance via email and SNMP traps respectively. Using SNMP, network management systems can also poll an Integration Appliance to actively monitor resources such as disk usage, memory usage, and garbage collection cycles. For more information about systems and notification severity levels you can monitor from the WMC, see the management console online help.
While any user can view the systems events log and monitor disk and memory usage from the WMC, you must create a notification policy to receive alerts from the Integration Appliance. Use the WMC to create a notification policy. Notification polices contain details about which systems to monitor, notification levels to monitor, and notification alert recipients. The Integration Appliance only sends alerts when an event meets or exceeds the notification level specified in a notification policy. For more information about creating notification policies and notification levels, see the management console online help.
