Chapter 12: Introduction to the Event
Manager
Event Manager overview
Device agents send SNMP traps to theAvaya Network Management Server. These are
received by the Event Manager. The Event Manager can be viewed using the 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 theAvaya Network Management Server
on the list of each device’s trap managers. For information on configuring the 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 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 predefined
script. The Event Configuration window of the Event Manager provides a method for defining
actions and assigning actions to specific traps.
