text: **13.7 Monitoring**
  
  An important step is to correct any issues that are reported by your IBM Storwize V7000 
  system as soon as possible. Configure your system to send automatic notifications to 
  standard Call Home server or to the new Cloud Call Home server when a new event is 
  reported. To avoid having to monitor the management GUI for new events, select the type of 
  event for which you want to be notified. For example, restrict notifications to only events that 
  require action. The following event notification mechanisms are available: 
  
  (cid:2) Call Home 
  
  An event notification can be sent to one or more email addresses. This mechanism notifies 
  individuals of problems. Individuals can receive notifications wherever they have email 
  access, including mobile devices. 
  
  (cid:2) Cloud Call Home 
  
  Cloud services for Call Home is the optimal transmission method for error data because it 
  ensures notifications are delivered directly to the IBM support center. 
  
  (cid:2) SNMP 
  
  An SNMP traps report can be sent to a data center management system, such as IBM 
  Systems Director, that consolidates SNMP reports from multiple systems. With this 
  mechanism, you can monitor your data center from a single workstation. 
  
  (cid:2) Syslog 
  
  A syslog report can be sent to a data center management system that consolidates syslog 
  reports from multiple systems. With this option, you can monitor your data center from a 
  single location.
