Which actions ensure secure alert configurations in PowerFlex? (Choose two).

AValidate SNMP trap destinations

BConfigure email notifications for critical events

CEnable role-based access control for alerts

DAssign alerts to metadata managers

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A, B

Configuring alerts ensures that administrators are notified of security or health issues promptly.

Validate SNMP trap destinations (Option A): PowerFlex can send SNMP traps to a central monitoring station (like Nagios, SolarWinds, or Secureworks). Validating these destinations ensures that sensitive alert data is being sent to authorized, secure servers and not leaked to unauthorized IPs.

Configure email notifications for critical events (Option B): Configuring an SMTP gateway allows PowerFlex to email administrators immediately when a 'Critical' or 'Error' event occurs (e.g., 'Drive Failed' or 'Login Failed'). Ensuring this channel is encrypted (TLS) and directed to the correct distribution lists is part of a secure configuration.

Wait, assigning alerts to metadata managers? That sounds off.

I think B is just as important, though.

A and B for sure. Traps and email are the way to go for secure alert configs.

I think assigning alerts to metadata managers might be less critical compared to the other options. I’d lean towards the first two choices.

I’m a bit confused about role-based access control. Does it really apply to alert configurations, or is it more about user permissions?

I think validating SNMP trap destinations is definitely one of the actions, but I'm not sure about the second one.

Alerts and notifications are key for keeping the system secure, so I'd say B and C are the way to go. Gotta make sure the right people are getting those critical event alerts.

Ugh, alerts and security configurations are not my strong suit. I'm going to have to guess on this one and hope for the best.

Okay, let me think this through. I'm pretty sure role-based access control for alerts is important for security, so C is definitely one. And validating SNMP trap destinations sounds like a good way to ensure alerts are going to the right places, so I'll go with A as well.
