In order to take advantage of the alert feature, the following are required:
Since most alert actions are similar, this section focuses on the most common email alert, and the item that needs extra configuration, Remote Scripts.
Step 1: Receive SNMP Trap from the device.
Check the alert log. If no alerts, check the iDRAC configuration.
Use the Test Event option in the iDRAC to simulate an error.
Step 2: Alert Policy Configuration
Under Category, select the All checkbox since often the user is filtering out the alerts they want.
Under Target, ensure all devices that you want email messages from are selected.
Under Date & time, do not select anything at all. Often, users are setting times here and if any alerts fall outside of that time, they get nothing.
Under Severity, Warning and Critical should be fine.
Under Action, fill out user email details.
Step 3: Send Test trap from iDRAC again to verify functionality.
Check the Alert log again to verify it got to the appliance.
Wait for the email.
If no email is received, then this indicates an email server configuration issue.
Under Application Settings > Alerts > Email Configuration, check the email server configuration.
Ensure that IP is correct, port is correct, and credentials are correct. Switch Authentication and SSL for testing.
