SNMP Notification Actions
Overview
You can create one or more SNMP notifications for any Universal Controller task. For workflow tasks, you can also specify whether you want the SNMP notification to be triggered by the workflow itself, the workflow and/or its tasks, or by the tasks only.
You can trigger the notification based on one or more of the following events associated with the task instance to which you attach the notification:
- Status or statuses of the task instance
- Exit code(s) generated by the program (along with at least one status)
- Late start
- Early or late finish
In order to generate SNMP notifications, there must be an SNMP Manager defined, which provides the server name and other pertinent information of the SNMP Manager that will receive the notification.
You also can generate notifications based on the status of Agents and Agent clusters, Cluster nodes, and OMS Servers.
