37 Event action definitions

To configure the policies for the event action, complete the following steps.

1.Select Apply as a Logging Policy to indicate whether or not you want the event occurrence to be logged in the Management application database:

-Select Log to log the occurrence in the Management application database and Master Log.

-Select Drop to not log the occurrence in the Management application database or Master Log.

NOTE

If the policy specifies Act as specified on the Policy pane of the Add Event Action dialog box, and you select Log for this parameter, only events that meet the criteria defined in the Act as specified area are logged. For example, if the event is logged when 10 link down traps occur during a one-minute interval, then one record will be logged after 10 link down traps occur. If you want all 10 link down traps to be logged, then create a policy where Act on all occurrences is selected on the Policy pane of the Add Event Action dialog box.

2.Select the Auto Acknowledge check box to suppress events without being in troubleshooting mode. Activating this also helps to avoid cluttering Master Log with unwanted messages without modifying filters.

NOTE

Auto Acknowledge is enabled only when Take actions for the selected events when they occur is selected in the Policy step of the Event Actions Wizard. If you edit an Event Action that has Auto Acknowledge selected and change this option in the Policy step to Time-bound or Frequency-bound, you will be required to confirm your choice.

3.Select the Enable Troubleshooting check box to suppress events based on user-entered criteria. You can suppress events for up to 168 hours (7 days). This action is applicable to IP devices only.

4.Select the Alert by E-mailcheck box if you want an e-mail message to be sent to an administrator if the policy criteria have been met.

5.Select the Run Policy Monitor check box to execute a policy monitor as an action based on a selected event, and then select the target for the policy monitor from the list. Target options include Event Sender and Specified in Config.

6.Select the Launch a Script check box if you want to execute to an external script file when the matching criteria have been met, and then enter the script in the accompanying field.

7.Select the Broadcast to Client check box, and click Configure to broadcast a message to all the clients when the matching criteria have been met.
