Notification
Method
The following notification methods are available.
EMAIL* - sends notification to the specified email address
TEXTLOG* - sends notification to specified file
SNMP - sends notification using SNMP traps
CONSOLE - sends notification to the system console
TCP - sends notification to the specified target host and port
UDP - sends notification to the specified target host and port
OPC - sends notification to OpenView ITO applications (available
only on systems with OpenView installed).
SYSLOG - sends notification to the system log
Only one notification method can be selected for each monitor
request, consequently you will need to create multiple requests to
direct event notification to different targets. * These are the only
methods that deliver the entire content of the event message. The
remaining methods alert you to the occurrence of an event, but
require you to retrieve the complete message content using resdata
explained later in this chapter.
