Chapter 3 Getting Started Starting Cisco EMF and Cisco 12000/10720 Router Manager Notification Profiles An important aspect of a monitoring system which captures and reacts to events on the network is when and how a network operator is informed of these events. The Event Manager uses notifications for this. For example, when the temperature of a line card rises 10 degrees above normal an e-mail might be sent to the network operator warning of a potential problem and a minor event migh

Chapter 3 Getting Started Deployment PreFilter Event pre-filtering allows any event generated by the network which matches the criteria established in the filter to be “filtered out”, and thus not saved into the database. Pre-filtering offers you the capability to eliminate unwanted or undesired events from entering the management system altogether. Pre-filtering is managed through the PreFilter application or from the Event Browser. The PreFilter application is launched via the PreFi
