Before you configure important EMS event notifications, you need to decide whether to send the notifications to an email address, a syslog server, or an SNMP traphost.
If your environment does not already contain a syslog server, then it is easier to use email for important event notifications.
If you already forward event notifications to an SNMP traphost, then you might want to monitor that traphost for important events.
