You can configure the VSP One File server to send one of the following alert notification types to the users of File Administrator automatically when an event occurs:
- An email message, which the VSP One File server sends through an SMTP server.
- An SNMP trap, which notifies a central Network Management Station (NMS) of any events generated by the VSP One File server.
- A syslog alert, which is sent from the VSP One File server to a UNIX system log. The UNIX system must have its syslog daemon configured to receive remote syslog messages.
The best practice with any form of event notification is to set the notification frequency to Immediately for Severe events and send the alerts to at least two users.
