About OpsCenter alert policies
OpsCenter provides tools to create and manage alert policies and handle any resulting alerts that the policies generate. Alert policies help you manage your NetBackup environment by providing constant monitoring of your NetBackup systems. When certain events or conditions occur in your environment, OpsCenter helps you manage your NetBackup server network by generating alerts or sending email and trap notifications (or both).
When a NetBackup system event triggers an alert (based on your alert policies), the following occurs:
OpsCenter sends email or SNMP notices to any recipients that are configured in the policy.
The OpsCenter console displays views to help you track and manage these alerts.
You can specify email or SNMP notification in response to an alert, which lets administrators focus on other job responsibilities. Administrators do not need to monitor a terminal continuously.
Alert policies are defined as informational, warning, major, or critical.
Under certain circumstances there may be issues among multiple OpsCenter users. For instance, an OpsCenter user changes a policy while another user tries to remove the same policy.
