6.2.5 Modifying email alerts
When the HP SFS system software is installed, a number of email alerts are created by default (see
Section 6.2.4 for more information). You can use the
modify alert
command to change the email
addresses on the default alerts. In addition, you can use the
modify alert
command to modify any email
alerts that you create on the system.
To modify an email alert, enter the
modify alert
command as shown in the following example. A series
of questions prompts you to enter the information. To accept any information that is already defined for the
alert, press the
Return
key. In this example, the email address is changed on the
array_failure
alert,
which is one of the default alerts:
sfs> modify alert array_failure
A filter is an expression used to select specific event(s). When an
event occurs that matches the filter, the alert triggers.
An example filter is:
facility=server && data contains "Down"
Enter filter [data contains "array" && severity>err]:
When an alert triggers, an email is sent. Specify a comma
seperated list of email addresses. For example:
[email protected],[email protected]
Enter email address(s): [email protected]
An alert throttle may be specified (in minutes). If an alert is throttled
the first event triggers an alert but subsequent events, for the duration
of the throttle will not be sent. A throttle value of 0 disables throttling.
Enter the throttle period (minutes) for the alert [0]:
The following alert will be created:
Alert: array_failure
Filter: data contains "array" && severity>err
E-mail: [email protected]
Throttle: 0
Is this correct? (yes/no/cancel): yes

6.2.6 Creating email alerts
To create an email alert, enter the
create alert
command as shown in the following example. A series
of questions prompts you to enter the necessary information. Note that if you enter more than one email
address, you must separate the entries with commas:
sfs> create alert
.
.
.
Enter alert name: server_down
.
.
.
unload-failure
Alerts you when an OST or
MDS service fails to
unload when a file system
is being stopped. Since
the service cannot stop, it
will not start on another
server.
facility=lustre &&
severity>warning &&
data contains
"unload-failed"
Reboot the server where the
service is in the
unload-
failed
state.
