I recently upgraded from IT assistant to OME. I installed OME on a new server and have discovered my required servers.
I received this alert yesterday (hostname and ip address redacted) via our configured e-mail alert.
Device:SERVERNAME xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, Service Tag:xxxxxxx, Asset Tag:, Date:23/06/2014, Time:12:41:06, Severity:Warning, Message:Warning Status Alert. Device: SERVERNAME
The problem is this doesn't tell me what the problem is. In this case, it was a failed hard drive.
I get the same basic alert when a server is offline or looses connection to the OME server (we have a lot of remote sites that are monitored over the WAN.
How do I configure the alerts to contain usefull information? a loss of network conectivity to a remote site is ok, but a failed hard drive obviously needs to be looked at straight away.
