Initiate a Request for Synchronization of Events or Alarms
post
/{versionId}/fault/trapReceivers/{trapReceiverId}/action
Use this (POST) method to request that the SDM server re-send events or alarms within a specific time range to the trap receiver targeted by its identifier. SDM resends alarms to this northbound trap receiver only if the type is set to syncActiveAlarm, or it resends events if the type is set to syncAlarm. This method is used to retrieve events or alarms that may not have been received by a northbound server because the system is down or there are network partitions. Using this method for a northbound system can request and synchronize with events or alarms that may have been missed during a connectivity downtime event.
