Managing App Visibility notification channels
TrueSight App Visibility Manager and TrueSight Synthetic Monitor event notifications can be sent on a number of different channels. You can send event notifications via email, Syslog, and SNMP (v2). If you have TrueSight Infrastructure Management in your environment, App Visibility and Synthetic Monitor events are recorded there automatically.
