Defining Alert Delivery Rules

| MegaRAID® Storage Manager Monitor |

> ## Defining Alert Delivery Rules

> The Alert Delivery Rules tab is used to tailor event notifications to suit your needs. All notification rules are assigned a severity and delivery method by default. However, you can reset any of the rules to change their severity, to change how they are logged, or to change the way you are notified about the event. Select a topic below to learn more about the Alert Delivery Rules tab:

> - Defining Rules
> - Defining Exceptions

> ### Defining Rules

> The Define Rules panel is used to set the severity of each event and to define the delivery method for each type of severity. To change an event's severity from the default, follow these steps.

> 1. Click the Change Events Severity button.
> 2. Select and highlight the event in the list that you want to change.
> 3. Select a new severity level from the Severity drop-down list, and click Close when you are finished making the changes.

> Additionally, you can set the delivery method on each severity level. To change the delivery method, follow these steps.

> 1. Select and highlight the severity level that you want to change.
> 2. Click Edit to display the Delivery Methods dialog.
> 3. Check or uncheck the delivery methods to add or to remove them from that severity type based on where you want the information sent. Delivery methods are explained in the following table.

> Event Severity Delivery Methods
> Delivery Method | Description
> --- | ---
> Popup | A popup dialog is displayed on the management station on which the MegaRAID Storage Manager is installed. The MegaRAID Storage Manager does not need to be running for a popup to work.
> Email | An email is sent to recipients defined on the Email tab.
> System Log | The event is written to your operating system's log file.
> MSM Log | The event is written to the MegaRAID Storage Manager log file.

> 4. Click Edit to save your changes, and close the Delivery Methods dialog.

> ### Defining Exceptions

> Use the Define Exceptions panel to override global delivery settings on selected events. For example, you might have all warnings being written to the MegaRAID Storage Manager log and system log but not delivered to you by email. Suppose there is one event that you would prefer to receive also by email. Rather than reset all warnings to be delivered by email, you can set an override on just one event to include email as a delivery method.

> To define exceptions on events, follow these steps.

> 1. Click the Add button.
> 2. Select and highlight the event in the list that you want to change.
> 3. Check or uncheck delivery methods depending on how you want the event delivered, and click Add to save your changes.

> The event that you changed is added to the Define Exceptions dialog. To edit items already in the Define Exceptions panel, click the Remove or Edit button:

> - Remove deletes the item from the Define Exceptions panel and resets the event to the default delivery settings.
> - Edit allows you to change the behavior of an event already defined as an exception.
