HP Network Direr Software Products manual Deleting Events

Events List Components 335

once an event has been logged for an SNMP trap with a severity other than info, the item that the event was logged for will always have unresolved events listed for it and so will appear in the map colored either yellow or red.

Once you have investigated such an event and are satisfied that the cause has been resolved, you can manually change its state to resolved to improve the accuracy of the reported state of your network.

To manually resolve an event, select it in the Event list and select Edit > Resolve.

You can resolve multiple events in one operation by first selecting all the events you wish to resolve and then selecting Edit > Resolve.

You can resolve any unresolved event in this manner, not just SNMP trap-based events.

This is useful if you have, for example, investigated and taken action that should resolve a recurring event. Rather than waiting for 3Com Network Director to determine whether or not the event is resolved, you can manually resolve the event. If the event is still not resolved then 3Com Network Director will log a new event when it next detects the abnormal network condition.

Deleting Events

If an event is of no interest to you, or you have resolved the event and no longer require a record of it, then you may wish to delete it from the Events list.

To delete an event, select the event you wish to delete and then select Edit > Delete. This marks an event as requiring deletion, but does not immediately delete it. The actual deletion of the event is performed by the event ageing process. See “Managing Event Ageing” on page 361 for more information on this process.

You can mark multiple events for deletion in one operation by first selecting all the events you wish to delete and then selecting Edit > Delete.

If you are deleting events because you are not interested in events of a particular type then you may wish to consider disabling that type of event
