Introduction

An event in the administration terminology notifies or alerts the administrator of a change in the information system. Events are sent by devices or other LoriotPro platform. Events could have a severity level depending on the importance of the change that occurs.  LoriotPro allows the management of events that come either from its internal processes or from external devices.  Each process has its predefined events that are sent when necessary to the event manager.

A LoriotPro system could reroute its local events to another LoriotPro system and thus it is possible to create a hierarchy of Management platform and centralize the most important events. Events are displayed in a window and filters could be applied to customize them or to trigger actions.

LoriotPro supports many types of events :

   Local events generated by internal processes or plugin of LoriotPro
   External events sent by other LoriotPro or third party products.
   SNMP Traps V1, Informs V2c or V3 (authenticated or not, depending on the device profile)

   Syslog message.

Distributed event management

All received events could be filtered. Event filtering allows the creation of conditions that will trigger actions, actions are generally programs or script files.

Filters are defined in a file called trapfilter.txt located in the /bin directory. The syntax for editing this file is described in the next chapter.
