About User-Customized Alarms

The operator can define customized threshold-crossing alarms (alerts) for various events crossing operator-defined thresholds. These alarms can be sent as SNMP traps to SNMP servers, via email to a group or user, or to a syslog event.

Refer to Configuring Alarm Settings for configuration instructions.

Setting user-customized alerts requires defining two thresholds per event type and activating the corresponding alarms for each type.

For instance, if the event type is AP # of clients and the thresholds are 100 and 200 clients, then remote management services for Unleashed can send alarms:

  • When the client count goes up to 100 (send low-threshold alarm set TCA)
  • When the client count goes up to 200 (send high-threshold alarm set TCA)
  • When the client count goes down to 200 (send high-threshold alarm clear TCA)
  • When the client count goes down to 100 (send low-threshold alarm clear TCA)
Note: For any alarms to be sent, the SNMP server information and/or email system information must be configured as described in Configuring Alarm Settings before remote management services for Unleashed can send the alarms.
