Sounds like it might be a good idea. Not sure I understand exact usage of "counter errors". Is this problems with the counters, counts of errors...? ---------------------------------------------- Harry Lewis IBM STSM Chairman - IEEE-ISTO Printer Working Group http://www.pwg.org IBM Printing Systems http://www.ibm.com/printers 303-924-5337 ---------------------------------------------- <table width=100%> <tr valign=top> <td width=40%>"McDonald, Ira" <imcdonald@sharplabs.com> Sent by: owner-wims@pwg.org 01/25/2005 07:56 PM <td width=59%> <table width=100%> <tr> <td> <div align=right>To</div> <td valign=top>"'wims@pwg.org'" <wims@pwg.org> <tr> <td> <div align=right>cc</div> <td valign=top> <tr> <td> <div align=right>Subject</div> <td valign=top>WIMS> Counter MIB - Alert table/trap proposal</table> <table> <tr valign=top> <td> <td></table> </table> <tt>Hi folks,                                      Tuesday (25 January 2005) I propose that we add an Alert group (objects) and an Alert Trap group (notification) to the Counter MIB and a Counter events class to the WIMS Events schema. A monitor application that registers for 'icAlertV2Trap' notifications can effectively use the Counter MIB stand-alone, typically without data from any other MIB. Comments?
