Configuring Administrative Alerts for Directory Proxy Server

For information about how to configure administrative alerts, see the following procedures.

To Enable Administrative Alerts

You can use DSCC to perform this task. For information, see Directory Service Control Center Interface and the DSCC online help.

1. View the enabled alerts.

   % dpconf get-server-prop -h host -p port enabled-admin-alerts

2. Enable one or more administrative alerts.

   % dpconf set-server-prop -h host -p port enabled-admin-alerts:alert1 \
     [enabled-admin-alerts:alert2 ...]

   For example, to enable all available alerts, run this command:

   % dpconf set-server-prop -h host -p port \
    enabled-admin-alerts:error-configuration-reload-failure-with-impact \
    enabled-admin-alerts:error-resource-limit-exceeded \
    enabled-admin-alerts:error-server-shutdown-abrupt \ 
    enabled-admin-alerts:info-configuration-reload \
    enabled-admin-alerts:info-data-source-available \
    enabled-admin-alerts:info-server-shutdown-clean \
    enabled-admin-alerts:info-server-startup \
    enabled-admin-alerts:warning-configuration-reload-failure-no-impact \
    enabled-admin-alerts:warning-data-source-unavailable \
    enabled-admin-alerts:warning-data-sources-inconsistent \
    enabled-admin-alerts:warning-listener-unavailable \
    enabled-admin-alerts:warning-resource-limit-exceeded

   To disable all email alerts, run this command:

   % dpconf set-server-prop -h host -p port email-alerts-enabled:false

   To add an alert to an existing list of enabled alerts, run this command:

   % dpconf set-server-prop -h host -p port enabled-admin-alerts+:alert-name

   To remove an alert from an existing list of enabled alerts, run this command:

   % dpconf set-server-prop -h host -p port enabled-admin-alerts-:alert-name

   By default, all alerts are enabled. For example, once all the email alerts are enabled (email-alerts-enabled:true), run the following command to receive all the email alerts :

   % dpconf set-server-prop -h host -p port enabled-admin-alerts:all
