Configure SMTP, SNMP, and Syslog alerts

By clicking OpenManage Enterprise > Application Settings > Alerts, you can configure the email (SMTP) address that receives system alerts, SNMP alert forwarding destinations, and Syslog forwarding properties. To manage these settings, you must have the OpenManage Enterprise administrator level credentials.

To configure and authenticate the SMTP server that manages the email communication between the users and OpenManage Enterprise:
  1. Expand Email Configuration.
  2. Enter the SMTP server network address that sends email messages.
  3. To authenticate the SMTP server, select the Enable Authentication check box and enter the username and password.
  4. By default, the SMTP port number to be accessed is 25. Edit if necessary.
  5. Select the Use SSL check box to secure your SMTP transaction.
    NOTE When the Use SSL box is checked, internal SMTP servers that do not have a 3rd party trusted certificate cannot receive data from OME.
  6. You can change the Email Content-Type from HTML(default) to Plain Text.
  7. To test if the SMTP server is working properly, click on the Send Test Email check box and enter an Email Recipient.
  8. Click Apply.
  9. To reset the settings to default attributes, click Discard.
NOTE Users with DM privileges will be unable to use any SMTP (email) based features until an Admin sets up SMTP.
To configure the SNMP alert forwarding configuration:
  1. Expand SNMP Alert Forwarding Configuration.
  2. Click on the left-most check box on any of the four rows on which you want to add/edit the SNMP Alert Forwarding Configuration details.
  3. Select the ENABLED check box to enable the respective SNMP traps to send alerts in case of predefined events.
  4. In the DESTINATION ADDRESS box, enter the IP address of the destination device that must receive the alert.
    NOTE Entering of the console IP is disallowed to avoid duplication of alerts.
  5. From the SNMP VERSION menu select the SNMP version type as SNMPv1, SNMPv2, or SNMPv3 and fill the following fields:
    1. In the COMMUNITY STRING box, enter the SNMP community string of the device that must receive the alert.
    2. Edit the PORT NUMBER if needed. Default port number for SNMP traps=162. See Supported protocols and ports in OpenManage Enterprise.
    3. If SNMPv3 is selected, provide the following additional details:
      1. USERNAME: Provide a username.
      2. AUTHENTICATION TYPE : From the drop down list select SHA, MD_5, or None.
      3. AUTHENTICATION PASSPHRASE: Provide an authentication passphrase having a minimum of eight characters.
      4. PRIVACY TYPE: From the drop down list select DES, AES_128, or None.
      5. PRIVACY PASSPHRASE: Provide a privacy passphrase containing a minimum of eight characters.
  6. To test an SNMP message, click the Send button of the corresponding trap.
  7. Click Apply. To reset the settings to default attributes, click Discard.
To update the Syslog forwarding configuration:
  1. Expand Syslog Forwarding Configuration.
  2. Select the check box to enable the Syslog feature on the respective server in the SERVER column.
  3. In the DESTINATION ADDRESS/HOST NAME box, enter the IP address of the device that receives the Syslog messages.
  4. Default port number by using UDP=514. Edit if necessary by entering or selecting from the box. See Supported protocols and ports in OpenManage Enterprise.
  5. Click Apply.
  6. To reset the settings to default attributes, click Discard.
