Which actions can administrators perform to enhance alerting capabilities in PowerFlex? (Choose two)

Question

Options

• AConfigure SNMP trap destinations
• BEnable encryption for alert traffic
• CAssign alert thresholds for critical events
• DSchedule alert retention policies

• A
  90% (53)
• B
  3% (2)
• D
  7% (4)

Explanation

Administrators enhance PowerFlex alerting by configuring SNMP trap destinations (A), which sends automated alerts to external monitoring systems (like SolarWinds or Nagios) whenever events occur - this is a core integration capability of PowerFlex's alert framework. They also assign alert thresholds for critical events (C), defining the specific conditions (e.g., capacity reaching 80%) that trigger an alert, giving administrators precise control over what warrants notification.

Option B (encryption for alert traffic) is incorrect because, while PowerFlex supports data security features, encrypting alert traffic is not an exposed administrative alerting configuration option - it's a distractor conflating security settings with alerting settings. Option D (scheduling alert retention policies) is a storage/logging management concept, not an alerting capability - retention affects how long records are kept, not how or when alerts are generated.

Memory tip: Think "SNMP Sends alerts out, Thresholds Trigger alerts in" - both actions directly enhance how alerts work (destination and trigger), while the wrong answers deal with security and storage, which are separate concerns.
