You can configure the VSP One File server to show comprehensive event logging and automated alert notification. The server continuously monitors temperature, fans, power supply units, and disk drives. Each time an event occurs, for example, a disk failure or a possible breach of security, the server records it in an event log. The event log can be saved as a permanent record. The event log is used in trend and fault analysis.
The automated alert notification is sent by the server according to a predefined severity categories (Severe, Warning, Information), including daily summary. When automated alert notification is enabled, the system notifies selected personnel when an event is generated, based on the level of severity of the event. Automated alert notification helps users to proactively monitor the health of the server and address problems with the server.
The event log can contain a maximum of 10,000 events. When the event log limit is reached, each new event replaces the oldest event in the log.
