Event Manager Overview
Device agents send SNMP traps to Avaya Network Management Server.
These are received by the Event Manager. The Event Manager can be
viewed using Avaya Network Management Console. The Event Log
Browser window of the Event Manager provides a list of traps in a table.
Each row contains information about a single trap.
* Note:
To receive device traps in Event Manager, include
Avaya Network Management Server on the list of each
device’s trap managers. For information on configuring
Avaya Network Management Server as a trap manager, refer
to the device’s User Guide or on-line help.
In addition, the Event Manager can notify multiple management hosts
of network events. It can also open a pop-up message, play of a sound
file, or send an e-mail to notify managers of important network events.
In addition, you can configure a network event to trigger a pre-defined
script. The Event Configuration window of the Event Manager provides
a method for defining actions and assigning actions to specific traps.
