Issue/Introduction

I’d like to be notified automatically when an adaptive response agent goes red (or back to green) so that I don’t have to keep checking the indicators on the info tab.

Resolution

If you want to be notified automatically when an agent has crossed a red or green threshold, you can create an action file that contains one of the send CLI commands.

The notification can take one of the following forms: syslog entries, SNMP traps, or email messages.

For additional information on setting up and using these commands, click any of the links below.

send email 
send syslog 
send trap

To see examples with step-by-step instructions on creating action files that include email notification, see Adaptive Response Agent Examples in PacketGuide.
