You can use the End of Sale/End of Life Report to ascertain the End of Sale or End of Life details that
impact the devices and modules in your network. You can generate this Inventory report by selecting End

Notification on Inventory / Configuration Failure
You can use the Collection Failure Notification window to configure the receipt of Trap messages on
Inventory Collection or Configuration Fetch failure. This Trap is sent for each device from the RME
server whenever the collection does not happen.
Other network management stations can use this Trap to know about RME Inventory or Configuration
collection failure status. The destination IP address to which the traps are to be sent can be configured
in the env.properties file. Any third party Trap receivers in the host(s) mentioned in the env.properties
can receive the Trap messages on Config collection/Inventory collection failure.
