Email/Traps Email/Traps Send Trigger on Byte Threshold Text String Email Delay Restart Delay Email to 8: Device Ports Select the checkbox to enable email and SNMP logging. Email logging sends an email message to pre-defined email addresses or an SNMP trap to the designated NMS (see Chapter 7: Services on page 78) when alert criteria are met. Disabled by default. If you enabled email and SNMP logging, select what type of notification log to send:  Email (default)  SNMP Trap  Both Select the method of triggering a notification:  Byte Count: A specific number of bytes of data. This is the default.  Text String Recognition: A specific pattern of characters, which you can define by a regular expression. Note: Text string recognition may negatively impact the SLC unit's performance, particularly when regular expressions are used. The number of bytes of data the port receives before the SLC unit captures log data and sends a notification regarding this port. The default is 100 bytes. In most cases, the console port of your device does not send any data unless there is an alarm condition. After the SLC 8000 advanced console manager receives a small number of bytes, it perceives that your device needs some attention. The SLC unit notifies your technician when that point has been passed, and the notification includes the logged data. For example, a threshold preset at 30 characters means that as soon as the SLC 8000 advanced console manager receives 30 bytes of data, it captures log data and sends an email regarding this port. The specific pattern of characters the SLC unit must recognize before sending a notification to the technician about this port. The maximum is 100 characters. You may use a regular expression to define the pattern. For example, the regular expression "abc[def]g" recognizes the strings abcdg, abceg, abcfg. The SLC 8000 advanced console manager supports GNU regular expressions; for more information, see:  http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Regular-Expressions.html  http://www.delorie.com/gnu/docs/regex/regex.html A time limit of how long (in seconds), after the SLC unit detects the trigger, that the device port captures data before closing the log file (with a fixed internal buffer maximum capacity of 1500 bytes) and sending a notification. The default is 60 seconds. The number of seconds for the period after the notification has been sent during which the device port ignores additional characters received. The data is simply ignored and does not trigger additional alarms until this time elapses. The default is 60 seconds. The complete email address of the message recipient(s) for each device port(s). Each device port has its own recipient list. To enter more than one email address, separate the addresses with a single space. You can enter up to 128 characters.

SLC™ 8000 Advanced Console Manager User Guide

127

Email/Traps

Select the checkbox to enable email and SNMP logging. Email logging sends an

email message to pre-defined email addresses or an SNMP trap to the

designated NMS (see

Chapter 7: Services on page 78

) when alert criteria are

met. Disabled by default.

Send

If you enabled email and SNMP logging, select what type of notification log to

send:



Email (default)



SNMP Trap



Both

Trigger on

Select the method of triggering a notification:



Byte Count:

A specific number of bytes of data. This is the default.



Text String Recognition:

A specific pattern of characters, which you can

define by a regular expression.

Note:

Text string recognition may negatively impact the SLC unit’s performance,

particularly when regular expressions are used.

Byte Threshold

The number of bytes of data the port receives before the SLC unit captures log

data and sends a notification regarding this port. The default is 100 bytes.

In most cases, the console port of your device does not send any data unless

there is an alarm condition. After the SLC 8000 advanced console manager

receives a small number of bytes, it perceives that your device needs some

attention. The SLC unit notifies your technician when that point has been passed,

and the notification includes the logged data.

For example, a threshold preset at 30 characters means that as soon as the SLC

8000 advanced console manager receives 30 bytes of data, it captures log data

and sends an email regarding this port.

Text String

The specific pattern of characters the SLC unit must recognize before sending a

notification to the technician about this port. The maximum is 100 characters. You

may use a regular expression to define the pattern. For example, the regular

expression “abc[def]g” recognizes the strings abcdg, abceg, abcfg.

The SLC 8000 advanced console manager supports GNU regular expressions;

for more information, see:



http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Regular-Expressions.html



http://www.delorie.com/gnu/docs/regex/regex.html

Email Delay

A time limit of how long (in seconds), after the SLC unit detects the trigger, that

the device port captures data before closing the log file (with a fixed internal buffer

maximum capacity of 1500 bytes) and sending a notification. The default is

seconds.

Restart Delay

The number of seconds for the period after the notification has been sent during

which the device port ignores additional characters received. The data is simply

ignored and does not trigger additional alarms until this time elapses. The default

seconds.

Email to

The complete email address of the message recipient(s) for each device port(s).

Each device port has its own recipient list. To enter more than one email address,

separate the addresses with a

single space

. You can enter up to 128 characters.
