Using the Alert Manager
Sending an alert as an SNMP network message
Alert Manager can send the alert messages that your anti-virus software
generates to other computers via the Simple Network Management Protocol
(SNMP). To see the alert messages that Alert Manager sends, you must have
an SNMP management system configured with an SNMP viewer, such as
Hewlett-Packard’s OpenView. To learn how to set up and configure your
SNMP management system, see the documentation for your SNMP viewer
software.
Follow these steps to send an alert as an SNMP network message:
1. Open the Alert Manager Properties dialog box.
2. Click the SNMP tab. The SNMP page appears (
Figure 6-15
