What’s New in this Version
What’s New in this Version
New notification methods: Now you can receive notification through
email, syslog, the console, or a textlog file. The previous notifications are
still available: SNMP, opcmsg, TCP, and UDP.
Asynchronous monitors: Now EMS supports asynchronous monitors.
Asynchronous monitors send events as they occur, and EMS notifies you
when your configured condition is met. Previously, EMS would poll to
solicit status. For example, it might poll an application, expecting
returns of UP or DOWN. Now EMS can passively wait for event
messages from the monitor. For example, a new monitor may be designed
to send a message when the one-hundredth user logs onto a system.
Configuration of SNMP notification is simplified: Now users can specify
severities.
Trap severities mapping: Now you can choose the new “map” option for
severity with some monitors. The software can automatically translate
opcmsg (ITO) and SNMP trap notifications into EMS severity levels.
