Path: Administration > Notification > Event Actions > options

Types of notification

You can configure event actions to occur in response to an event or group of events. These actions notify users of the event in any of several ways:

•Active, automatic notification. The specified users or monitoring devices are contacted directly.

–E-mail notification

–SNMP traps

–APC Remote Monitoring Service

–Syslog notification

•Indirect notification

–Event log. If no direct notification is configured, users must check the log to determine which events have occurred

You can also log system performance data to use for device monitoring. See “Data log” on page 74 for information on how to configure and use this data logging option.

–Queries (SNMP GETs)

For more information, see “SNMP” on page 87. SNMP enables an NMS to perform informational queries. For SNMPv1, which does not encrypt data before transmission, configuring the most restrictive SNMP access type (READ) enables informational queries without the risk of allowing remote configuration changes.
