Administration: Notification and Logging
Event Actions (Administration>Notification>Event Actions>options)
Types of notification
You can configure event actions to occur in response to an event or group of events.
These actions notify users of the event in any of several ways:
• Active, automatic notification. The specified users or monitoring devices are
contacted directly.
– E-mail notification
–SNMP traps
– Syslog notification
–Paging
• Indirect notification in the event log. If no direct notification is configured, users must
check the log to determine which events have occurred.
Configuring event actions
Notification Parameters. For events that have an associated clearing event, you can
also set the following parameters as you configure events individually or by group, as
described in the next two sections. To access the parameters, click the receiver or
recipient name.
For another method of indirect notification, see SNMP. SNMP enables an
NMS to perform informational queries. For SNMPv1, configuring the most
restrictive SNMP access type, READ, enables informational queries without
the risk of allowing remote configuration changes.
You can also log system performance data to use for device monitoring.
See Data log (Logs>Data>options) for information on how to configure and
use this data logging option.
