Configuring Platform Event Filters
This chapter includes the following sections:
- Platform Event Filters
- Enabling Platform Event Alerts
- Disabling Platform Event Alerts
- Configuring Platform Event Filters
- Configuring SNMP Trap Settings
Platform Event Filters
A platform event filter (PEF) can trigger an action and generate an alert when a critical hardware-related event occurs. For each PEF, you can choose the action to be taken (or take no action) when a platform event occurs. You can also choose to generate and send an alert when a platform event occurs. Alerts are sent as an SNMP trap, so you must configure an SNMP trap destination before the alerts can be sent.
You can globally enable or disable the generation of platform event alerts. When disabled, alerts are not sent even if PEFs are configured to send them.

You must log in as a user with admin privileges to enable platform event alerts.
Disabling Platform Event Alerts
You must log in as a user with admin privileges to disable platform event alerts.
Configuring Platform Event Filters
