74 Setting up the Alert Management System Configuring alert actions To configure the Send Page alert action for an unlisted paging service 1 In the Symantec System Center console, right-click the server group, and then click All Tasks > AMS > Configure. 2 Select the alert for which you want to configure alert actions. 3 Click Configure. 4 Click Send Page, and then click Next. 5 Select a computer to execute the action, and then click Next. 6 Click Settings. 7 Type the protocol, maximum message length, baud rate, data bits, stop bits, and parity that your paging service requires. You can get this information from your paging service. 8 Click OK, and then continue configuring the pager action starting with step 6 in "To configure the Send Page alert action" on page 72. Entering a pager message The Send Page alert action supports both alphanumeric and numeric-only pagers (numeric-only pagers are sometimes called beepers). If you're paging an alphanumeric pager, the message can include any text that you type in and information from the alert that generated the message. This message should not exceed the maximum number of characters that your paging service supports; otherwise, you could get a truncated message. If you're paging a numeric-only pager, you may want to create a system of server numbers and numeric error codes that correspond to alerts that you configure. For instance, you could create a system where "1" refers to your main production server and number "101" means some specific event has occurred. If you received the message "1 101," then you would know that the event had occurred on your main production server. Configuring the Send SNMP Trap alert action Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a message-based protocol based on a manager/agent model consisting of Get, GetNext, and Set messages and responses. SNMP uses traps to report exception conditions such as component failures and threshold violations. AMS2 can generate an SNMP trap when an alert occurs. You can configure systems generating alerts to send these traps to a management console, such as HP OpenView, Tivoli Enterprise Console, or Computer Associates Unicenter.
