6.4.2.2 Receiving Alert Notifications

Administrators for Oracle Exadata System Software can receive alert notifications by email or by Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) trap alerts.

By using the ALTER CELL command, you can set the alert notification attributes to configure Oracle Exadata Storage Server to send notification email messages or SNMP trap alerts.

Use of SNMP alerts allows Oracle Exadata Storage Servers to be monitored by a management application, such as Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control.

Note:

The SNMP alerts conform to a MIB (management information base) which is included with each installation of Oracle Exadata System Software. The MIB file on Oracle Exadata Storage Server is available at /opt/oracle/cell/cellsrv/deploy/config/cell_alert.mib.
