Actions & Notifications

EventSentry currently supports 15 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.)
	Pager (through SNPP)
	Instant Messages (through Jabber - e.g. Google Talk), supports chat rooms
	ODBC Database (MSSQL, MySQL, Oracle or MSAccess)
	Syslog (TCP + UDP)
	SNMP (v1, v2c and v3 Traps)
	Text File (ASCII, HTML, CSV)
	Network (aka "net send")
	Process (executes any process/executable)
	Dot Matrix Printer
	Shutdown or Reboot
	Service Control (Stop, Start, Restart, Continue, Pause)
	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)
• Network (net send)
