The Attention! RT web interface provides a simple and intuitive means for administrators to access the system. From defining the Subject hierarchy, to publishing messages for dissemination, browsing to the Attention! RT web site is the only access method some organizations will ever need.

Suppose, however, that you would like to interface Attention! RT's message publication capabilities into your own applications. Perhaps you have a suite of system and network management products that keep the enterprise up and running. When these software products detect a significant alarm condition, it would be great if that event could trigger the Attention! RT notification process automatically.

That's where the Attention! RT API (Application Programming Interface) comes in. By issuing a single command from any system with network connectivity to Attention! RT, you can embed secure, authenticated message publications into your own systems and applications.
