Actions & Notifications

EventSentry currently supports 16 different types of actions and notifications. Some actions are useful for immediate notification (such as email or syslog) while others are useful for collection and consolidation.

	SMTP Email (supports SSL/TLS, header/footer, variables, mini format for cell phones etc.)
	Instant Messages (through Jabber - e.g. Google Talk), supports chat rooms
	Database (MSSQL, MySQL or Oracle via ODBC)
	Pager (through SNPP)
	Syslog (TCP + UDP)
	SNMP (v1, v2c and v3 Traps)
	Process (executes any process/executable)
	Submit HTTP(S) forms
	Shutdown or Reboot
	Service Control (Stop, Start, Restart, Continue, Pause)
	Text File (ASCII, HTML, CSV)
	Network (aka "net send")
	Dot Matrix Printer
	Sound (play .wav file)
	Desktop
	RSS (requires web reports)

Fault Tolerance

EventSentry supports fault-tolerance for certain notifications, and will cache events when certain notifications are unavailable. Delivery will be re-attempted in regular intervals until the remote service is available again.  This ensures 100% reliability during temporary network outages.

Currently, the following notification types support fault tolerance:

• Database (ODBC)
• SMTP
• SNPP
• Syslog (TCP only)
• HTTP
• Network (net send)
