Notification Example
Event Report Operation

The NOTIFICATION template is used to define notifications which represent the syntax of the information carried in the EVENT-REPORT and is also used in the log records of the log service.

NOTIFICATION templates specify information that indicates a change in a managed object to the manager system. This information includes changes to attributes and relationships of managed objects as well as alarms of various types.

         name NOTIFICATION
                BEHAVIOUR behaviour ... ;
                PARAMETERS  parameter ... ;
                WITH INFORMATION SYNTAX reference
                   AND ATTRIBUTE IDS field  attribute  ... ;
                WITH REPLY SYNTAX reference;
         REGISTERED AS  object identifier;

The behaviour identifier in BEHAVIOUR clause identifies a behaviour template that specifies the associated behaviour. The behaviour definition is optional.

When present the parameters in the PARAMETERS clause qualify the behaviour of the notification. Parameters are important in defining error conditions and for notifications qualify the information accessed from the attributes.

The WITH INFORMATION SYNTAX reference defines the information carried in the notification request. The reference identifies a ASN.1 production that defines the syntax of information. The reference consists of an ASN.1 module containing the production and is followed by the name of the ASN.1 production. The referenced ASN.1 production contains pairs of values consisting of an attribute in the equivalent record and production that will be used to carry the equivalent information in protocol.

The WITH REPLY SYNTAX reference defines the information carried in the notification reply. The reference identifies a ASN.1 production that defines the syntax of information. The reference consists of an ASN.1 module containing the production and is followed by the name of the ASN.1 production. This clause is optional.

The REGISTERED AS object identifier is a unique identity that is used in the protocol to identify this particular notification. This clause is optional.
