Set up common settings for fault notification

The Common Settings option enables you to determine the breadth and detail of fault information that will be sent via email, pager, or script. You can configure a suppression time within which faults are held pending Acknowledge or Delete actions — or automatic clearing events from the source — within Operational Status.

To manage fault notification details, do the following:

1. Select Manager → <Admin Domain Name> → Setup → Notification → Faults → Common Settings (same for Central Manager).
2. Fill in the following fields:
   • Admin Domains
     • Current — Send only faults for the current domain. This is always selected for the current domain.
     • Children — Send faults for all child domains of the current domain
   • Notification Scope— If Sensor interfaces have been delegated to a child domain, faults can be set to display by the Admin domain in which the delegated interface resides, rather than by the domain where the Sensor is controlled.
     • Entire Device — Faults based on Sensor-domain relationship
     • Individual interface — Faults based on interface-domain relationship
   • Suppression Time — The amount of time to suppress system faults before forwarding

     Note

     Suppression Time can only be set within the root admin domain.

3. Click Save.
