agents, and templates. You can set the desired severity for an event type and the location at which the event alert can be seen.

Prerequisite: You must have “VSE All Tools” authorization to set visibility attributes. (See “User authorizations” in Insight Dynamics help for a discussion of tool box permissions.)

To access and modify the attribute fields for events, click the Admin/Config tab, then the Events tab. The next figure shows part of the event configuration fields.

Figure 3-5 Event tab shows configuration fields for data center and administrative events

The Events tab shows two panes: one for data center events and one for administrative events. Each pane contains:

A list of event types that can be managed,

Drop-down lists that allow you to set the level of severity for each event type. Each severity has an iconic indicator associated with it that can be seen in Application Discovery (by clicking the Events tab) or in HP SIM (by looking at the uncleared events lists).

Lists that allow you to specify where event notifications shall post for viewing.

Setting event severity

1.Click the drop-down arrow to reveal the choices. The choices are displayed in descending order of criticality.

2.Select the level of warning severity desired for each event type.

3.Click Submit to save the change.

The new settings are applied immediately.

If needed, you can Cancel the changes that you have made. This action returns any changed settings shown in the drop-down to their previous saved state.

See “Key to event attributes” (page 61) for an explanation of event types and severity levels.

Setting alert location

To set the alert location:

1.Click the drop-down arrow to reveal the choices.

2.Select the location desired for each event type. The default setting is “Show in AD”, meaning show this event type in the Application Discovery event tables only. Use “Send to SIM”" to show the event type in HP Systems Insight Manager software event tables as well as Application Discovery event tables.
