I'm trying to test out email alerts using iDRAC6 on a PE T610 server. I was able to configure iDRAC's Email Alert Settings and successfully did a Test E-Mail [Send]. My next step is to test whether an email alert gets sent when a monitored hardware event occurs. As far as alert config: under Alerts->Platform Events I have Enable Platform Event Filter Alerts enabled, and under Platform Event Filters List, all Events are enabled (the default). My test - I simply unplugged one of the 2 power supplies from 110V outlet for about 10 seconds. No email alert was sent. When I look at Logs->System Event Log, I do see 2 critical events(red circle with white X): one says "The power input for power supply 2 is lost", other "Power supply redundancy is lost".
Is it possible a 10 second loss of power on one supply is not severe enough to trigger a true alert? I'm not buying that, as the critical events are recorded in the system log...
Maybe there is something further I have to configure?
TIA,
Mike
