Tivoli® monitoring
agents emit three types of SNMP messages: agentStatusEvent to
convey agent operational status, agentSitSampledEvent for situations
that sample at intervals and become true, and agentSitPureEvent for
situations that receive unsolicited notifications.
They are defined in the canbase.mib and cansyssg.mib files
that are available on the
IBM® Tivoli Monitoring IBM Tivoli Monitoring Agents
installation media.
- agentStatusEvent
- The agentStatusEvent is a monitoring agent operational status
information trap generated by the Tivoli Autonomous
Agent SNMP Event Exporter to inform and notify about a specific agent
operational event.
- agentSitSampledEvent
- A sampled situation event was detected. This trap was generated
by the Tivoli Autonomous
Agent SNMP Event Exporter in response to a situation threshold being
exceeded at the time of the data sampling.
- agentSitPureEvent
- A pure situation event was detected. This trap was generated by
the Tivoli Autonomous Agent
SNMP Event Exporter in response to a situation threshold being exceeded.
The variables in a pure event trap are identical to those for a sampled
event trap except there is no agentSit-SampleInterval because pure
events are not sampled; rather the arrival of unsolicited data from
the monitored attribute group causes the situation to become true.
A situation created with an attribute group for a system log, for
example, opens a pure event when a log entry arrives.
