5.To filter events by severity, use the <event-filter-severity>tag. For example, to prevent informational events from being forwarded to HP SIM, enter the following between the <HP-config> tags:
<event-filter-severity>INFORMATIONAL</event-filter-severity>
You can also filter out the following event severities:
•UNKNOWN
•CRITICAL
•MAJOR
•MINOR
•INFORMATIONAL
•WARNING
6.To filter events by element type, use the <event-filter-element-type>tag. For example, to prevent events from hosts from being forwarded to HP SIM, enter the following between the <HP-config> tags:
<event-filter-element-type>HOST</event-filter-element-type>
You can filter out the following element types:
•HOST
•SWITCH
•STORAGE_SYSTEM
•TAPE_LIBRARY
7.To filter events by name, use the <event-filter-element-name>tag. For example, to prevent events from an element named ElementA from being forwarded to HP SIM, enter the following between the <HP-config> tags:
<event-filter-element-name>ElementA</event-filter-element-name>
8.Restart Storage Essentials.
NOTE: You do not need to restart HP SIM.
The following is an example of an hp-event-config.xml file. This file instructs Storage Essentials not to forward any events that are Informational or from a host to HP SIM.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <HP-config>HP configuration <host-name>HostNameA</host-name> <trusted-host>HostNameA/trusted-host> <trusted-host>192.168.1.1</trusted-host> <admin-user>HostNameA\administrator</admin-user> <SIM-on-windows>true</SIM-on-windows> <admin-reset-password>password</admin-reset-password>
<event-filter-severity>INFORMATIONAL</event-filter-severity> <event-filter-element-type>HOST</event-filter-element-type> </HP-config>
