alerts on the front panel

Hello,

 

 

I have a few questions with regards to alerts on the front panel, for which I wasn't able to find answers in the docs or forums yet, so here they are:

 

 

1- can I clean the front panel from all alerts without physical access to the unit ? (ie: through ssh or remote console)

 

2- can I safely comment some of the lcdwarn lines in /config/httpd/run/alert.conf ? There are some I don't want to be notified on the front panel.

 

 

I'm willing to do this on units running 9.3.1 or 9.4.5.

 

 

Apologies in advance if this is already covered somewhere on the forums or official documentation, I'll appreciate being pointed to it if such information already exists. If not, your answers are welcome.

 

 

regards,

 

jmn

    Hi jmn,

     

     

    SOL5486 (Click here) notes that you can use lcdwarn to clear the LCD warnings via the command line (serial or SSH). I think this should work in all 9.x versions.

     

     

     

    /usr/bin/lcdwarn --help

     

    Usage: lcdwarn [-p ]

     

    lcdwarn [-c ] (clears warnings)

     

    can be [0|1|2|3|4] or [warning|error|alert|critical|emergency]

     

    can be invoked as clearlcd_[warning|error|alert|critical|emergency]

     

     

     

     

    As the help indicates, you can use 'lcdwarn -c 4' or 'clearlcd_emergency' to clear emergency severity messages.
