How does HP Web Jetadmin detect events on devices in order to trigger alerts?
Proactive alerting is accomplished through detection and processing of device based events and notification through some method (usually email). The initial detection of device-based events is done in one of two ways: • Polling devices for specific states is one way to determine if an event has occurred. Polling is always used for Supplies and for Critical Alerts types. • Traps are packets sent to HP Web Jetadmin for the purpose of signaling an event. When the device is first established in HP Web Jetadmin Alerts subscriptions, the trap destination (the application’s IP address) is configured onto the device.
