Notifications

When significant events occur, notifications allow external users and systems to receive an e-mail, Syslog, or SNMP traps from NetMRI. This method of integration is the simplest for most one-way, system-to-system solutions. You can use the NetMRI user interface to configure the notifications of interest, filter out those that are not important, and set delivery time - windows and destinations. See the NetMRI online Help topics under Event Notifications and System Health Monitoring for more details.

NetMRI Application Programming Interface

The NetMRI Application Programming Interface (API) enables external programs to retrieve information about devices, interfaces, VLANs, and other network entities from the NetMRI database. It also enables programs to retrieve information about neighbor relationships between devices, and send commands to NetMRI. This is the most powerful method of integrating with NetMRI, and the most difficult. API integration requires knowledge of Perl or other programming languages. For more information, see the Infoblox NetMRI   API   Developer's  Guide under Additional Documentation in the Online Help and Guide and the NetMRI API under Tools –>  icon > Network –>  > API Documentation.
