RE: [SA-list] SNMP checks

[KIERGAARD, Steven]

Directly within SA?? no.. howsomeever, if you are logging to a database (i happen to be using an SQL server) you could design an appropriate trigger to do what you like and at least email someone.... i can think of some other ways to create an event SA could then report on (ie,i take a dummy db off-line  to create a "trigger event") but its a bank-shot.   Steven M.

If it's not possible, does anyone on the list have a suggestion that would work?     Thank You, Robert Fesig, Network Engineer American Computer Associates, Inc. (570) 874-1910
