XIX-EVENT-MIB

The XIX-EVENT-MIB defines notifications (traps) that enable an SNMP agent to send generic events to an SNMP manager.

SNMP agents can alert the manager that an event has become active (xixEventSet) or that an event has cleared (xixEventClear).

An xixEventSet notification contains a short textual identifier (xixEventId) and a message (xixEventText). The message may contain any kind of text that describes the event. The purpose of the identifier is to distinguish between different types of events. Its content is generally not meant to be displayed by an SNMP manager.

An xixEventClear notification contains only the identifier. Its purpose is to signal to the SNMP manager that a any previously sent xxixEventSet notification with the same identifier has cleared.
