Notification
lists
A notification list determines
what notifications
a client of the
Global Manager
receives. A notification list includes a filter that
the Global Manager
uses to process notifications before sending the notifications to
the client. In addition to a filter, you can also use a notification
list to change the name of column headings in the Notification Log
of the Global Console.Changes to a notification
list are not available to console users
until they reattach to the
Global Manager
. Clients that use
notification lists include:
- Global Consoles — The notification list is a property of the user profile. “Creating a user profile” on page 41 describes how to create user profiles.
- Notification adapters — The notification list used by a notification adapter is specified in the NLSubscription section of the adapter’s configuration file. The provides additional details on notification adapters.
- Adapter Platform — AGlobal Manageruses a notification list to receive notifications from the Adapter Platform. The notification list used byGlobal Manageris specified in the dxa-oi.conf file.Changes to the notification list are made using the Global Console and not by directly editing the dxa-oi.conf file.Because a notification list controls what notifications a client receives, it affects more than the display of notifications in a Notification Log. A notification list also affects the display of maps in the Global Console. For example, if a notification list filters out all notifications for a router, the status of that router will appear normal, regardless of its actual condition.The filters specified as part of a notification list should not be confused with the filtering capabilities of the Global Console. TheGlobal Managerperforms the filtering defined in a notification list. The notifications that are filtered out by a notification list are not sent to a client. Filters in the Global Console can be used to further refine the filter of a notification list. The describes filtering performed by the Global Console.You can create or modify a notification list using theGlobal ManagerAdministration Console or thesm_configutility. This section describes using theGlobal ManagerAdministration Console. Chapter 11, “Importing and Exporting Configurations,” describes how to use thesm_configutility.
