NAME
cc_sender - cooperative consoles sender daemon

SYNOPSIS
$SNMHOME/agents

DESCRIPTION

cc_sender is the Cooperative Consoles sender daemon. cc_sender is used to forward SNM event traps, and topology information to remote SunNet Manager Consoles. Typically, a SunNet Manager Console with a sender daemon is regarded as the sending station. SNM events are converted into traps when they are forwarded.

cc_sender is launched in response to a registration request from a remote receiver process. After creation, it registers with the local SunNet Manager Event Dispatcher to receive all events and traps.

cc_sender uses one or more user-configurable filter files to process events and traps. Separate filter files can be selected for each receiving station. Each filter contains a Type, Name, Priority, New Priority, Action, and DB Template fields.

Type determines the primary selection criterion for processing a trap or event. There are only three values that can be used: Hostname, Component, or Default.

Name is either the IP address or hostname of a glyph in the SNM database or a component type name as found in the elements schema file.

Priority specifies the lowest priority event or trap that this filter will process.

New Priority is the new priority value that the event is assigned when forwarded to the requesting station.

Action is the field that specifies whether an event or trap is to be forwarded or ignored.

DB Template specifies the file name of the database template that should be used in selecting information from the database when a SunNet Manager database trap is forwarded.
