Event Actions
Path: 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- 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 occurredReferenceYou can also log system performance data to use for device monitoring. Refer to the "Data log" section in the, "Information Logs" chapter of this manual.- Queries (SNMP GETs)Reference For more information, refer to the "SNMP" section in the, "Administration : Network Features" chapter of this manual. SNMP enables an NMS to perform informational queries. SNMPv1does not encrypt data before transmission. Configuring the most restrictive SNMP access type (READ) enables informational queries without the risk of allowing remote configuration changes.Configuring Event Actions
