HP B6191-90029 Event Severity Levels, Event Severity MC/ServiceGuard Level Description Response

Installing and Using Monitors

Adding a Monitoring Request

Table 2-14	Monitoring Requests Configuration Settings (Continued)
Setting	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.
