IMPORTANT: Since the severity level for an element is set by the manufacturer, the meanings of the severity levels vary. It is best to view the description of the event.

•Unknown - The severity level is not known.

•Informational - An example of an informational event is a progress report event for firmware download operation currently in progress.

•Warning - An example of a warning is one or more new physical fabric objects (device port, switch, or fabric) have appeared.

•Minor - An example of a minor event is a physical fabric object (switch port or fabric) has changed state.

•Major - An example of a major event is one or more physical fabric objects (device port, switch, or fabric) have disappeared.

•Critical - An example of a critical event is Brocade switches that have a failed firmware download and the failure reason code for each respective switch.

After you select an event level, click OK.

•Execute a Custom Command - Policy Manager executes a custom command on the management server when the condition is fulfilled. Type a command that will execute the script in the field. Then, click OK. The software assumes you are in the

%JBOSS4_DIST%\server\appiq\remotescripts directory on the management server when the script is executed. You can use environment variables in your script, such as

POLICY_NAME and POLICY_DESCRIPTION. POLICY_NAME. POLICY_NAME provides the policy name and POLICY_DESCRIPTION provides the policy description. See ”Software Environment Variables for Scripting” on page 264 for more information.

Prefix the command with “start” if the custom command triggers a user interface component, such as a program that uses the user interface (Example: Microsoft Internet Explorer) or a command prompt window.

For example, assume you want the custom command to open a command prompt window and list the contents in the directory. You would prefix the command with start as shown below:

start dir
