The Log Manager periodically sends requests to target devices according to a fixed polling interval.
The target device receives the requests and send replies to the Log Manager.
The Log Manager then processes data in two different ways:
• Data passes through the filter you set; it may be saved in the database depending on the condition
specified in the filter.
• Data is checked against a threshold formula. If conditions are satisfied, the Log Manager automati-
cally triggers the event associated with the log process.

Program
The Event Manager receives input from EliteView applications such as the main EliteView program,
the Log Manager and the Trap Manager. Any named event may be triggered simply by satisfying the
user-defined threshold formula. Any triggered event is passed on to the Event Manager, which
activates the proper response, such as running a program, sounding an audible alarm, displaying a
message on screen, displaying a message in the Report window, or writing to the event database.
