Events
Event messages are sent to the EMS collector specified when starting the SNMP 
agent or to the EMS collector assigned through SCF by altering the PROCESS object. 
By default, event messages are sent to $0 on the local node. You can suppress 
sending event messages with the COLLECTOR startup parameter. Configuring the 
EMS collector is described in Section 2, Installing and Configuring the SNMP Agent..
Table C-2 summarizes and the following pages describe event messages the SNMP 
agent generates.
