Event Management
This chapter provides information on event types, severity levels, supported
PDU/UPS events, and how to manage the events in Power Center.
You can receive events indicating an abnormal power/temperature situation in
the data center.
Power Center detects these types of events:
• Pre-defined events
• Custom events
The internal event listening port of Power Center is 6553; Power Center uses
this port to receive events from Power Center internal. If an application uses
port 6553, make sure to change it and reserve this port for Power Center.
The default external event listening port is 162; Power Center uses this port
to receive events from the external devices. If the SNMP Trap service exists
and uses port 162, Power Center automatically uses port 1162 to receive the
external events forwarded by the SNMP Trap service.
Pre-defined Events
A pre-defined event is an event that Power Center defines based on system
conditions. Power Center defines the following events (A-Z) at different severity
levels.
