5. In the Wait Time (in seconds) before Resuming Pinging field, type 60
to make the EMX stops pinging the target PDU for 60 seconds (1
minute) after the PDU inaccessibility is declared. After 60 seconds,
the EMX will re-ping the target PDU.
Step 2: Create an event rule to send SNMP notifications for this
PDU
1. Choose Device Settings > Event Rules. The Event Rule Settings
dialog appears.
2. Click New.
3. In the "Rule name" field, type "Send SNMP notifications for PDU
(192.168.84.95) inaccessibility."
4. Select the Enabled checkbox to enable this new rule.
5. In the Event field, choose Server Monitoring > 192.168.84.95 >
Unreachable.
6. In the "Trigger condition" field, select the Unreachable radio button.
This makes the EMX react only when the target PDU becomes
inaccessible.
7. Select the System SNMP Notification Action from the "Available
actions" list box, and click to add it to the "Selected actions" list
box.
Note: If you have not configured the System SNMP Notification Action to
specify the SNMP destination(s), see Configuring SNMP Notifications
(on page 204).
