Alerts and HP Web Jetadmin
As in earlier releases of HP Web Jetadmin, proactive alerting is accomplished through detection of an event based on a device, processing to determine the appropriate action to take, and then notification through some method (usually email). The initial detection of device based events is done in one of two ways:
●Polling devices: Always used for Supplies and for Critical alert types. Supplies alerts are polled in adaptive intervals, based on the rate of use.
Critical Alerts are polled at the rate designated in Tools > Options > Device Management > Device Polling > Alerts.
●Traps: Packets sent to HP Web Jetadmin to signal an event. When the device is first established in HP Web Jetadmin Alerts, the trap destination (the application’s IP address) is configured onto the device.
The following Alerts features have been added to HP Web Jetadmin:
●Intuitive, easy to use Alerts settings interface
●Multiple subscription control
●Alerts subscription templates
●Supplies alerting
●Backup polling
●Adaptive polling (supplies)
●Alerts history interface
