NNMi Northbound Interface

The NNMi northbound interface forwards NNMi management events as SNMPv2c traps to a northbound application. The northbound application might filter, act on, and show the NNMi traps. The northbound application might also provide tools for accessing the NNMi console in the context of an NNMi trap.

The NNMi northbound interface can send incident lifecycle state change notifications, incident correlation notifications, and incident deletion notifications to the northbound application. In this way, the northbound application can replicate the results of NNMi causal analysis.

The NNMi northbound interface can also forward the SNMP traps that NNMi receives to the northbound application.
