SPS can send the following system related alerts in e-mail or as SNMP trap. To configure these alerts, see Configuring e-mail alerts and Configuring SNMP alerts.

NOTE:

Configure Disk space fill-up prevention, and configure SPS to send an alert if the free space on the disks of SPS is low. For details, see "Preventing disk space fill-up" in the Administration Guide.

Configure SPS to send an alert if a user fails to login to SPS. For details, see the Login failed alert in "System related traps" in the Administration Guide.

General alert xcbAlert

General alerts and error messages occurring on SPS.
