You can configure the system to send alarm notifications (traps) to an SNMP agent or an email account. You can also specify whether a notification is generated for each alarm, for all alarms of a particular type (Information, Warning, etc.), or for all alarms together. The first option results in the most notifications; the last option results in the fewest notifications.
