Greetings,
I am new to deploying Dell Open Manage Essentials and would some help with alert management. Out of the box, OME is flooding us with email alerts after I creating an alert action to email all warning and critical alerts. There are two areas to improve.
1. The primary goal of our OME alerting will be to focus on hardware issues. As such, alerts about authentication failures, linkdown, system down, etc. are not needed. The problem is that the alert does not show the specific SNMP trap generating the alert, so finding them is a challenge.
2. Repeat alerts - I see where OME can filter alerts to not repeat for a minimum of 15 minutes. Is there any way to set this for longer? I know that fixing the problem quickly is the easiest way :)
My environment: Windows and ESXi Dell servers. The Windows server have trap forwarding to OME set, and are discovered through OMSA/SNMP and also the iDRAC with WS-MAN. ESXi is via the iDRAC with WS-MAN and OMSA is installed. Should I remove the Windows trap forwarding?
Thank you for your help,
Rick
