Event Notifications and System Health Monitoring

NetMRI provides a comprehensive notification facility to send messages triggered by changes, issues, job status and system alerts of various types. For example, issues generated by NetMRI are strong indicators of potentially serious problems within the network. You may want to be informed whenever certain issues are generated during a scheduled analysis period. Notification subscriptions enable you to request one or more notifications to be sent, via various protocols, to different destinations and raised only by specific device groups and interface groups. Notifications can be customized to support e-mail, SNMP trap and syslog delivery protocols.
As with many other elements in NetMRI, a Notification is a type of job; a job that notifies administrators about things that are going on in the NetMRI system, notifying users about problems encountered in the network, by an appliance, or on an Operations Center.
