Description

 

 

Notification

The following notification methods are available.

Method

EMAIL* - sends notification to the specified email address

 

 

TEXTLOG* - sends notification to specified file

 

SNMP - sends notification using SNMP traps

 

CONSOLE - sends notification to the system console

 

TCP - sends notification to the specified target host and port

 

UDP - sends notification to the specified target host and port

 

OPC - sends notification to OpenView ITO applications (available

 

only on systems with OpenView installed).

 

SYSLOG - sends notification to the system log

 

Only one notification method can be selected for each monitor

 

request, consequently you will need to create multiple requests to

 

direct event notification to different targets. * These are the only

 

methods that deliver the entire content of the event message. The

 

remaining methods alert you to the occurrence of an event, but

 

require you to retrieve the complete message content using resdata

 

explained later in this chapter.
