To use the data from the monitor adapter event in a triggered process, a Job Input Parameter, inputevent, must be created on the Start activity of the process. The <data> element from the monitor adapter event populates this input. The following table describes the elements of the SNMP monitor adapter event without the definition of the <mibs-directory> element.
