Event Notifications

GigaVUE-FM provides powerful email notification capabilities, automatically sending emails to specified addresses when a wide variety of events take place on the node. Gigamon strongly recommends that you configure this feature so that you have immediate visibility of the events affecting node health.

Some of these events are detected by GigaVUE HC Series and GigaVUE TA Series, and the notifications are forwarded to the GigaVUE-FM. For a node to be able to send notifications to the GigaVUE-FM, the node’s SNMP notifications must be configured with the IP address of GigaVUE-FM. For information about adding a destination for SNMP notifications, refer to Configuring SNMP Notifications in GigaVUE-OS CLI Reference Guide.

Notes
  • Before configuring the notifications, ensure to configure the Email Server and send a test email for confirmation. Refer to Email Servers.
  • When upgrading from earlier versions, the notification tasks are migrated as follows:
  • Upgrade Path Task Status after Migration
    From 5.11.00 to 5.13.00 Instant notification tasks are migrated as one task per user.
    From 5.12.00 to 5.13.00
    • Instant notification tasks are migrated as one task per user.
    • Batch notification tasks are migrated as one task per user and the tasks will be in disabled state. You must enable the tasks for notification.
