Setting up Event Subscriptions
Before creating an event subscription, you should establish:
•
the set of messages you want a user or a group of users to receive ( Filter ),
•
how you want the user or group of users to receive messages ( Channel ).
Selecting a Filter
The comprehensive event message filtering system allows you to use a predefined filter or
to create a specific filter, according to your needs.
See
Preselecting an Event Filter , on page 5-49 and Creating an Event Filter , on page 5-50.
Selecting a Channel
Four channels can be used to forward event messages, according to targeted recipients:
Channel Advantage
E–mail Allows a specific user to receive system notifications/ alerts.
User history Records specific system operations/alerts into a dedicated log file.
Web Allows a specific group of users to be warned of system operations/alerts
when connected to the PAM Web interface.
SNMP Forwards specific messages as SNMP traps to the selected SNMP applica-
tion.
