TCA Event Messages Reference

This reference lists the threshold-based events that NetQ supports for ACL resources, digital optics, forwarding resources, interface errors and statistics, link flaps, resource utilization, sensors, and What Just Happened. These messages can be viewed through third-party notification applications. For details about configuring notifications for these events, refer to Configure Threshold-Based Event Notifications.
