You can set the role in which Alert Collector must run at the time of deployment. Configure Alert Collector in one of the following roles:
Configures the alert collector to persist alerts into MDB.
Configures the collector to persist the alerts into MDB and take configured actions such as sending mails, raising SNMP trap, writing to Windows/CCS event log.
Configures the collector to persist the alerts into MDB, take configured actions, and forward alerts to another alert collector.
Configures the collector to forward the alerts to another alert collector.
Install the alert collector on EM, DM or a standalone machine connecting to the manager MDB on DM/EM. Also, you may install on a standalone machine in Forward Alerts role.
The following section explains the roles you can select based on the configurations:
Select Persist Alerts into MDB. For EM, the other roles are not supported.
Select Persist alerts into MDB and take configured actions or Persist alerts into MDB, take configured actions and forward alerts. Select the latter role when the DM is linked to an EM to forward alerts to the EM. Select other roles when you have to persist into the MDB or forward to alert collector on EM.
Select Forward to send alerts to another alert collector. For example, in an ENC environment, install the alert collector on the ENC server which resides in the DMZ so that the alerts are forwarded to the alert collector on the DM.
By default, you can install the alert collector directly on the DM, the EM (if one exists) or on separate server machines connected to the MDBs on the managers. To handle the increasing load, perform the following steps:
