You can design a client to send events to the Operations Sentinel Event Server for distribution to other clients, notably Operations Sentinel Console.
Sending Events to Operations Sentinel Console
Operations Sentinel Console displays alerts in an Alerts window, from which the operator can control their disposition. Alerts are associated with systems and partitions that are displayed as icons in clusters in Operations Sentinel Console. When an alert is displayed in an Alerts window, the color, shape, and/or size of the associated icon changes, indicating to the operator that the system requires attention.
Operations Sentinel Console provides the ability to track attribute changes in monitored objects, where an object may be a host or console, or a component of a host, such as a disk drive or a process.
