Chapter 8 Events and Notifications

Concepts

Overview

DMS-Admin supports email (SMTP) natively.

In addition, you can purchase and install a license key to activate our SNMP Notifications Module. After you activate this module, you can start to use:

•A network management MIB file called CISCO-DIGITAL-MEDIA-SYSTEMS-MIB.my.

•The agent capabilities file that describes which MIB objects we support in this release.

In this framework, you can define alarms that associate system events with methods to deliver notification messages.

Timesaver The Alerts gauge at Administration > Dashboard shows the total count of notification messages delivered in the past 1 hour. Click View Alerts to jump directly to the Alerts page.
