About the contexts of notification messages
The following information corresponds to object IDs (OIDs) *.21359.2.491.10.1 to *.21359.2.491.10.14.
Notifications contain the following information:
Alert Name
Name of the alert profile that generated the alert.
Alert Description
User-specified description of the alert.
Alert Source
Riverbed product from which the notification originated (NetIM).
sysName
The hostname of the device that caused the alert.
Metric Class
The category of the metric.
Metric
The specific metric involved.
Metric Index
Information that helps identify the metric.
Crossed At
The time the threshold was crossed.
Initially Crossed At
The time the threshold was initially crossed. This field is displayed when the statistic crosses back below the threshold.
Threshold
The threshold that was crossed.
Observed
The observed statistic that crossed the threshold.
Complete Sample
Varies based on metric class.
SNMP Trap notification example
To find the latest SNMP Trap MIB definition, go to <install-dir>/lib/mibs/third_party/opnet.
This example is the result of a CPU Utilization alert shown in a trap receiver with the SNMP Trap MIB definition loaded.

Suppression notification example
Alert suppression helps reduce the number of notifications by filtering out the less important messages. When notification suppression is enabled, the initial notification will indicate that suppression is active. No additional notifications for that alert will be sent. See
Configuring alert suppression for more information.
Notification messages contain information about the suppression status for the alert, along with the alert's current state and its most-recent transition.
