Adding a notifications policy

When you add a notifications policy, you inform administrators of alerts, policy violations and the status changes of job executions. Using SNMP traps, the notification system also allows you to send traps to SNMP-enabled third-party applications. Perform the following steps to add a notifications policy and assign it a name.

Procedure

  1. Click on the Policies tab.
  2. Click the New Policy link at the bottom left of the screen and give the policy a name.
  3. In the Notify When row, select a level and system. Be sure the SNMP checkbox under the Notify section is checked.
  4. Click Save.

Example

The following table shows the system, level and messages delivered via the Uncategorized trap. TheUncategorized trap is named CASTIRON-IA-MIB::ciIaUncategorizedEv, Enterprise 1.3.6.1.4.1.13336.2.2.2.1.1.10, Trap 1.
