Chapter 4. Events, Traps, and Alerts
After SolarWinds SAM deployment, configuration, and customization, we can begin utilizing its advanced features. This chapter will explain how to review events, set traps, and configure alerts. A basic SolarWinds SAM deployment is still useful; however, we recommend that you make use of these advanced elements, as they are particularly beneficial to help in guaranteeing high availability of the IT services.
Note
Descriptions and procedures in this chapter assume your HomeTab toolbar is set as Admin. This is the default setting, found under Settings | Manage Accounts, and covered in the Active Directory integration section of Chapter 2, Installing and Configuring SolarWinds SAM.
