Section 3.16

Managing Event Trackers

Trackers monitor the availability of hosts or devices by periodically transmitting ICMP messages (or pings). Based
on the ICMP results, the tracker updates operational data with the status of the host or device as it changes (i.e.
between "up " and "down" states). Other parts of the system can then subscribe to the operational data to be
notified when changes take place.
Where available, a tracker can allow a user greater flexibility when configuring a feature. For example, advertised
or received routes can be filtered or blocked entirely, based on the status of the tracker.
NOTE
Trackers only use ICMP messages to ping an IP target. Therefore, it can only provide availability for an
IP device, and only up to the IP layer.
The following sections describe how to configure and manage event trackers:
