Overview
The Event Management Information Base (Event MIB) provides the ability to monitor MIB objects on a local or remote system by using SNMP. It takes the notification or set action whenever a trigger condition is met.
The Event MIB is an enhancement to remote network monitoring (RMON):
In addition to threshold tests, the Event MIB provides Boolean and existence tests for event triggers.
When a trigger condition is met, the Event MIB sends a notification to the NMS, sets the value of a MIB object, or performs both operations.
