Abstract
Abstract An event notification system for a network including a managed device that includes one or more management agents that detect one or more management events of a plurality of possible management events. The managed device further includes event notification logic that generates an event notification message (ENM) which includes event related information. The ENM is written using a markup language, such as XML, to encode the event related information based on the management event. The ENM may include executable code written in a scripting language or the like, that when executed, causes at least one action to be performed. A management server is provided that includes an event processor that executes the code to perform the desired actions in response to the particular management event. The event related information may further include a URL to locate one or more information files in the network that provides further information about the management event. The event notification logic transmits the ENM to the management server using an HTTP post transaction to ensure delivery.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
82 words
A managed device for a network that performs event notification, comprising: at least one management event detector that detects at least one management event of a plurality of possible management events; event notification logic that generates an event notification message that includes event related information, the event notification logic transmitting the event notification message onto the network; and the event notification message written using a markup language to encode the event related information based on the particular management event that was detected.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
82 words
A managed device for a network that performs event notification, comprising: at least one management event detector that detects at least one management event of a plurality of possible management events; event notification logic that generates an event notification message that includes event related information, the event notification logic transmitting the event notification message onto the network; and the event notification message written using a markup language to encode the event related information based on the particular management event that was detected.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
15 words
