Types of notification
You can configure event actions to occur in response to an event or group of events. These actions notify
users of the event in any of several ways:
• Active, automatic notification. The specified users or monitoring devices are contacted directly.
– E-mail notification
–SNMP traps
– APC Remote Monitoring Service
– Syslog notification
• Indirect notification
– Event log. If no direct notification is configured, users must check the log to determine which
events have occurred
You can also log system performance data to use for device monitoring. See “Data
log” on page 52 for information on how to configure and use this data logging
option.
– Queries (SNMP GETs)
For more information, see “SNMP” on page 67. SNMP enables an NMS to
perform informational queries. For SNMPv1, which does not encrypt data before
transmission, configuring the most restrictive SNMP access type (READ) enables
informational queries without the risk of allowing remote configuration changes.
