You can configure ONTAP 9 to send important EMS (Event Management System) event notifications directly to an email address, syslog server, Simple Management Network Protocol (SNMP) traphost, or webhook application so that you are immediately notified of system issues that require prompt attention.

Because important event notifications are not enabled by default, you need to configure the EMS to send notifications to either an email address, a syslog server, an SNMP traphost, or webhook application.

Review release-specific versions of the ONTAP 9 EMS Reference.

If your EMS event mapping uses deprecated ONTAP command sets (such as event destination, event route), it’s recommended that you update your mapping. Learn how to update your EMS mapping from deprecated ONTAP commands.
