SunMC 3.6.1 Forwarding events / alarms to 3rd party product.
Hi, I've been assigned the task of creating an integration between SunMC and our business service dashboard. I understand that i can use SNMP traps to forward the events to an SNMP manager but i was wondering if there was an API or exposed web service that would allow me to interact with the alerts in SMC in a bidirectional manner.
I need to be able to forward the alerts from SMC to our dashboard and then close that event in SMC when a user closes it from our dashboard.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Many thanks,
Lewis.

Our EventAction and Framework Adapter downloads will allow you to filter and forwards SunMC alarms as SNMP traps:
http://www.halcyoninc.com/products/EventAction/index.php
http://www.halcyoninc.com/products/Frameworks/index.php
...and EventAction also supports reverse acknowledgement by SNMP as well (assuming your tool can send traps, or can call an external "snmptrap" binary:

Everything comes with a 30-day eval license baked in, and you can probably get it installed and running in under an hour. Email info@halcyoninc.com if you need any presales help getting things working.

Hi Mike,
Thanks for the response, unfortunately thats not what i am looking for.
I am looking to write the integration piece myself. I need to create something similar to the TEC integration which will forward the alarms to our dashboard. I am assuming there is some sort of API that will allow me to code my own methods for updating the alarms in SMC directly but i am having trouble finding it.
Could anyone point me in the direction of some documentation on writting software to interact with these alarms?
Thanks,
Lewis.
