Application Module: |
Part of the Atlantis Software's NotificationWorks. Application
Modules are programs that receive events (alarms) from Service Modules and provide some type of verbal or
visual notification, or even a visual analysis of alarms received. Examples of
Applications Modules are:
- PageManager Pro
- Alarm
Vocalizer Pro
- Escalation Manager
- SNMPForwarder
|
Service
Module: |
Part of the Atlantis Software's NotificationWorks. Service
Modules are programs that either create, or receive events
(alarms) and forward them to all Application
Modules. Examples of Service Modules are:
- SNMPListener
- ManageWise Adapter
- AlarmGen Pro
- CiscoWorks 2000 Adapter
- Node
Monitor

Events
(Alarms): |
NotificationWorks events can be any message that you consider
important. These can be SNMP traps, user defined messages, threshold triggers,
etc... The type of "event" depends on the type of "Service Module" you are
using. For instance, the SNMPListener Service
Module forwards SNMP traps, the AlarmGen Service
Module allows you to create and send your own custom messages, the ManageWise Adapter Service Module forwards ALL
Novell's ManageWise received alarms. All of these messages are considered
events. |
Independent Module: |
Can run independent, doesn't need any other modules to
run. |
NotificationWorks: |
This is a network management notification solution that
provides network monitoring, notification, escalation and reporting
capabilities, in modular form. This provides users with the capability to pick
and choose only those modules they need and thus, building their own network
management solution that fits their needs. The NotificationWorks consist of a
collection of modules that fall into two categories, Services and Applications. These modules connect and
communicate with each other through the main control program called, Event
Manager, (EventMan), which manages all of the modules. The Event Manager comes
free with the purchase of any of the modules. Keep in mind that in order for the
NotificationWorks to function you must have at the minimum 1 Application Module and 1 Service Module. |
Licensed by User: |
This means that the software is licensed by how many people
are going to be using it on that console, NOT by how many people are on the
network. For instance, if you have hundreds of people on a network but only 5
people need to use the software then you only need to purchase a 5 user license
for that console. But keep in mind that the license will NOT allow more than the
license count to use the software, if more are needed or if you need to run
it on more than one console then more licenses will need to be
purchased. |
Licensed by Console: |
This means that the software is licensed
by console. It does not matter how many nodes you have or how many people are on
the network. For Instance, if you have 2 HP OpenView consoles and want our
Notification Suite running on both sites then you will need to purchase two
copies of the program, one to run at each console. A
console is the PC where you are going to be running the Notification
Suite. | | |
