Notification Types

There are many types of built-in notification and action mechanisms in Traverse.

Email

This is the simplest notification. It sends an email to the specified email address using the mail gateways specified by the Traverse administrator.

Email options include both:

  1. Regular Email: Specify the email address in the format user@your.domain. You can enter multiple message recipients separated by commas (for example, jdoe@acme.com,fcheng@acme.com).
  2. Compact Email: Allows you to send email to an alphanumeric pager. Specify the email address in the format user@your.domain. You can enter multiple message recipients separated by commas (for example, jdoe@acme.com,fcheng@acme.com).

The maximum length for the message recipient (for each action item) is 255 characters, so if you are going to be sending email to a large number of recipients, it may be easier to set up an email alias on your mail server and use the new alias as the target recipient for the action profile.

The notification content can be customized on a global basis by the Traverse administrator.

Alphanumeric Paging

Note: Alphanumeric paging actions are not supported in Traverse Cloud.

SMS or Cell Phone Messaging

Note: SMS or Cell Phone Messaging actions will be supported in a later release of Traverse Cloud.

Other CRM Ticketing Systems

You can directly open a trouble ticket in commercial ticketing systems such as ServiceNow, Remedy, ConnectWise, Microsoft CRM or RT using the appropriate CRM connector module. See the Traverse Developer Guide & API Reference for more information.

Note: This feature might require purchasing a license from Traverse.

Sending SNMP traps

You can send an SNMP trap to another SNMP trap handler if desired. Traverse currently sends an SNMP v1 trap to the specified destination.

Executing External Scripts

The plug-in architecture of Traverse allows you to create any number of additional "plugins" that will be displayed in the drop down list. For details on how to create Plug-in Actions, see the Traverse Developer Guide & API Reference.
