Configuring alerts

Last Updated : Jun 03, 2021 |

About this task

Usage Metering sends alerts by using both Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and email.

Usage Metering supports SNMP versions v2 and v3.

Before you begin

If you want to use Syslog to store the event and log messages, set up your syslog server.

For SNMP traps, set up your SNMP trap receiver.

You must configure the SAL Gateway as one of the SNMP trap receivers so that Avaya also receives the SNMP traps.

You can also configure an additional SNMP trap receiver where you want to receive the SNMP traps from the Usage Metering Collector.

Procedure

Log on to the Usage Metering Collector interface by using a web browser.
On the Home page, click , and then click CONFIGURATION.
In the left navigation pane, click ALERTS.
In the Avaya Diagnostics Server (SAL Gateway) field, type the IP address or FQDN of the SAL Gateway where Usage Metering Collector must send the SNMP traps.
If you are using an additional SNMP trap receiver, in the SNMP Trap Send Address field, type the IP address of the SNMP trap receiver.
In the SNMP trap Version field, select the SNMP version. That is, v2 or v3.
Do the following if you have selected SNMP v2:
1. In the SNMP Trap Community field, type the appropriate community name for the SNMP trap.
  
  The default community name is public.
Do the following if you have selected SNMP v3:
1. In the SNMP trap Security Name field, type the security name that Usage Metering Collector must use when generating the SNMP traps.
  
  The security name you specify in this field must match the security name that is configured in the SAL Gateway and the other SNMP trap receiver you are using.
2. In the SNMP Trap Security Level field, do one of the following:
  - Click noAuthNoPriv if Usage Metering must not use authentication and encryption when communicating with the SNMP trap receivers.
  - Click authNoPriv if Usage Metering must use authentication, but no encryption when communicating with the SNMP trap receivers.
  - Click authPriv if Usage Metering must use both authentication and encryption when communicating with the SNMP trap receivers.
  The security level you select in this field must match the security level configured in the SAL Gateway and the other SNMP trap receiver you are using.
3. Do the following if you have selected the authNoPriv or authPriv security level:
  1. In the SNMP Trap Auth Protocol field, click the authentication protocol that Usage Metering must use to authenticate with the SNMP trap receivers.
  2. In the SNMP Trap Auth Passphrase field, type the password that Usage Metering must use to authenticate with the SNMP trap receivers.
    
    The password must be at least 8 characters in length.
  The SNMP v3 authentication protocol and password you specify in these fields must match the SNMP v3 authentication protocol and password configured in the SAL Gateway and the other SNMP trap receiver you are using.
4. Do the following if you have selected the authPriv security level:
  1. In the SNMP Trap Priv Protocol field, click the privacy protocol that Usage Metering must use for encryption when communicating with the SNMP trap receivers.
  2. In the SNMP Trap Priv Passphrase field, type the privacy password that Usage Metering must use for encryption when communicating with the SNMP trap receivers.
    
    The password must be at least 8 characters in length.
  The SNMP v3 privacy protocol and password you specify in these fields must match the SNMP v3 privacy protocol and password configured in the SAL Gateway and the other SNMP trap receiver you are using.
In the Syslog Server field, type the IP address of your syslog server.
In the Syslog Port field, type the port number of your syslog server.
Enable the Send emails (operator email list) on alerts option to send the alerts by email to the email addresses you have configured when configuring the SMTP mail server.
Click TEST ALERT to generate and send a test alert from the Usage Metering Collector to the configured email addresses, syslog server, and SNMP trap receivers.
