In this example, we want the PXE to send SNMP notifications to the SNMP manager for any sensor change event of the Inlet I1.
Note: The SNMP notifications may be SNMP v2c or SNMP v3 traps or informs, depending on the settings for the System SNMP Notification Action. See Configuring SNMP Notifications.
The event rule is set like this:
Event: Inlet > Inlet I1 > Sensor > Any sub-event
Actions: System SNMP Notification Action
To create the above event rule:
Select Event > Inlet to indicate we are specifying an event at the inlet level.
Select "Inlet I1" from the submenu because that is the inlet in question.
Select "Sensor" to refer to sensor events.
Select "Any sub-event" because we want to specify all events related to all types of inlet sensors and thresholds, such as current, voltage, upper critical threshold, upper warning threshold, lower critical threshold, lower warning threshold, and so on.
Select "System SNMP Notification Action" to send SNMP notifications to respond to the specified event.
Then the SNMP notifications are sent when:
Any numeric sensor's reading moves past any threshold into the warning or critical range.
Any sensor reading or state returns to normal.
Any sensor becomes unavailable.
The active energy sensor is reset.
For example, when the Inlet I1's voltage enters the upper warning range, the SNMP notifications are sent, and when the voltage drops below the upper warning threshold, returning to the normal state, the SNMP notifications are sent again.
