8. A system for setting expressions at an agent comprising a processor, the system comprising:
the processor configured to received a SNMP message from a management station specifying objects for notification supported by the agent and expressions based on said objects, set an expression management information base (MIB) at the agent for the notification, evaluate said expressions by said set expression MIB when the notification containing the expression is generated, and trigger an event based on a result of the evaluated expressions. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A computer program product stored in a tangible computer-readable storage medium executed by a processor for generating notification based expressions at a management station, the computer program product comprising:
-
code that identifies notifications supported by the agent; code that specifies objects for at least one of the notifications; code that defines one or more expressions based on the objects specifies for the notification; and code that sends a list of said objects and expressions embedded in a SNMP message to an expression management information base (MIB) of the agent to configure the notifications received at the management station upon occurrence of an event at the agent. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17)
