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
• Indirect notification in the event log. If no direct notification is configured, users must check the
log to determine which events have occurred.
For another method of indirect notification, see “SNMP” on page 37. 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” on
page 21 for information on how to configure and use this data logging option.
