Event Manager and Message Handler

The Event Manager console displays messages (traps, logs, windows events) forwarded from the Message Handler, as well as threshold violations.

  1. Navigate to Status > Events.
  2. From the Event Manager console you can acknowledge, suppress, and delete events. Events can be suppressed until a particular date and time, or until the state changes. The screen refreshes automatically every few minutes (this interval can be changed on the Administration > Preferences page).

The Message Handler is a distributed component of Traverse which accepts syslogs, SNMP traps, Windows events or any other text messages and then searches for specified patterns in these messages. When a pattern match is found, the message string is transformed and a severity assigned to it, and then it is forwarded to the DGE. The processed messages from the Message Handler are displayed on the Event Manager console and can trigger actions and notifications. For more information on configuring the Message Handler, see the Message Handler for Traps and Logs in the Traverse User Guide.
