Configuring Tools

Filter Parameter

The Filter parameter allows you to define the filter. This is the value of an SQL where clause and can
contain any valid filter text. For example, enter:
<param name=”Filter” value=”Severity>3”>
This parameter is used when the configuration filterfromhtml is set to true.

Tools Parameter

The Tools parameter defines tools that call CGI scripts (or other web-based tools) according to the value
of fields in selected alerts. The parameter’s value consists of a list of tool definitions:
<param name=”Tools” value=”
Tool1(type)(BaseURL)([CGIParam,Value,CGIParam,Value...)
Tool2(type)(BaseURL)([CGIParam,Value,CGIParam,Value...)
.
.
”>
Each tool is defined on a single line in the following format:
NameforMenu(type)(BaseURL)(CGIParam,Value,CGIParam,Value...)
For example:
Ping multiple hosts (all)(http://armagnac/cgi-bin/ncping)(Node,Node,Serial,Serial)
This parameter is used when the configuration toolsfromhtml is set to true.
See the “Configuring Tools” section on page6-23 for details of the parameters.
Configuring Tools
You can specify tools for use with alerts displayed in a Java event list. Each tool consists of a URL that
points to a web based application, for example a CGI script or page relevant to the alert. You can
configure tools either in the JACE, as part of the JEL configuration, or in the HTML for a Java event list
web page. If you define tools in the web page, the JEL configuration must have the toolsfromhtml set
to true for a Java event list to use them.
Each tool consists of the following:
•A name
•A base URL
•A type
•Parameters derived from the alert

Tool Name

The name of the tool is displayed in the Tool s menu title bar. In a tool defined in JACE, it is defined in
the name property of the tool. In a tool defined in an applet, it is defined in the first (NameForMenu tag)
parameter of the tool definition.
