Abstract
Systems and methods provide an alert proxy. A monitored system detects a condition causing an alert to be generated, and further detects that the alert cannot be sent through a first network interface configured for sending alert messages. The monitored system sends the alert message to a proxy system through a second network interface. The proxy system then forwards the alert message to a management system configured to receive alert messages on the first network.

8. A device comprising:
-
a processor;
a memory coupled to the processor;
a first communications interface coupled to the processor and configured to send alert messages to a management system; and
a second communications interface coupled to the processor and configured to send alert messages to a proxy system;
wherein the processor is operable to;
generate an alert message, determine that the first communications interface is unable to send the alert message, and send the alert message through the second communications interface to the proxy system. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
