NSR notification

The NSR notification resourceis used for each combination of an event, priority, and action handled by the Backup notification system. A Backup notification consists of a single event type, a single priority, and a message. The notification system posts each message to the action of each NSR notification resource that includes an event type and priority. To edit the NSR notification resources for a Backup server use "nsradmin " or "nwadmin".

The NSR notification resource has the following attributes:

• The name attribute specifies the name of a notification resource.

• The event attribute specifies a class of events that will trigger a given notification. The valid classes are:

  • Media, identifies events related to a media multiplexor subsystem

  • Savegroup, identifies events generated by savegroup

  • Index, identifies events related to the on-line file index subsystem, Registration, identifies events caused by changes in a product's registration status

  • Server, identifies Backup server events, such as restarting.

• The priority attribute specifies the priority at which a notification will be triggered. The valid values in increasing priority order are:

  • Info, supplies information about the current state of a server

  • Notice, an important piece of information

  • Warning, gives information about a non-fatal error

  • Waiting, indicates the server is waiting for a routine task

  • Critical, the server detected an error condition that requires attention

  • Alert, a severe error condition that demands immediate attention

  • Emergency, a severe condition that may cause Backup to fail.

• The action attribute indicates a command line to be executed when a given event occurs.

  Following is an example of a NSR notification resource:

  type: NSR notification; name: savegroup completion; administrator: root; action: h:\usr\ucb\mail -s savegroup completion; event: Savegroup; priority: Info, Notice, Warning, Waiting;
