The types of events that trigger alerts are:
- Diagnostic messages are triggered when a hardware or software failure is detected
- Environmental messages are triggered when temperature, power, and other types of system related thresholds are exceeded
- Syslog messages are triggered when the event secerity is major or greater
- Inventory messages are triggered when inventory changes occur, such as an online insertion and removal (OIR) of a module
- Configuration messages are triggered when a configuration event occurs, such as exiting configuration
