Adding a Monitoring Request
Table 2-14 Monitoring Requests Configuration Settings
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. |
