Before you begin
A notification in WLOC is an action that generates and distributes a message when triggered. For example, you can create a policy that generates an SNMP trap (notification) when a WebLogic Server JDBC data source fails to connect to its underlying database.
You can configure WLOC to generate the following types of notifications when a service operates outside of a specified constraint:
Notification Type | Description |
---|---|
JMS Notification |
Send a notification to a Java Message Service (JMS) destination (topic or queue). |
JMX Notification |
Send a Java Management Extensions (JMX) notification
( |
SMTP Notification |
Send a notification to a set of email addresses using the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). |
SNMP Notification |
Send a notification as a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) trap. |
You can configure the default values for each notification type to expedite the creation of policies that generate notifications. For information about defining notification actions, see Define actions.
