WIMS> Counter MIB - Alert table/trap proposal

  • Next message: Harry Lewis: "Re: WIMS> Counter MIB - Alert table/trap proposal"

    Hi folks, Tuesday (25 January 2005)

    I propose that we add an Alert group (objects) and an Alert Trap group
    (notification) to the Counter MIB and a Counter events class to the WIMS
    Events schema.

    A monitor application that registers for 'icAlertV2Trap' notifications
    can effectively use the Counter MIB stand-alone, typically without data
    from any other MIB.

    Comments?

    Cheers,
    - Ira
