Is it possible to give direct access for third-party applications to the DataMiner Audit Trail (which is stored in the DataMiner-DB)?

Hi Thomas,
DataMiner generates so-called information messages, which are essentially the same as alarm messages. There are standard methods available that could help you here. For example:
- SNMP trap forwarding: you could set up a trap forwarder in DataMiner and filter on information messages (or a subset of those), and leverage that to get the audit trail data across to a third party application. Information messages can be filtered probably by filtering on the SEVERITY, which has to be INFORMATION.
- TCP socket: DataMiner has a simple TCP socket that you can open up to get alarm events, not sure myself though if this one includes / can include the information messages - would have to check that.
There are also offloading options for the alarms in our database, into files or an SQL database that you can set up. Maybe this could also be an option.
