Types of notification
You can configure notification actions to occur in response to an event. You can notify users of an event in any
of several ways:
• Active, automatic notification. The specified users or monitoring devices are contacted directly.
– E-mail notification
–SNMP traps
– 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” for information on how to configure and use this data logging option.
– Queries (SNMP GETs)
For more information, see “SNMP Trap Receivers screen” and “SNMP Traps test
screen”. 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.
The NMC supports the use of the RFC1628 MIB (Management Information Base). See “SNMP Trap
Receivers screen” for information on how you can set up a trap receiver. The 1628 MIB group of three events
only work with that MIB, not the alternative Powernet MIB. They can be configured like any event (see
“Configuring event actions” below).
