Event Definitions; Event Definition Editor - Dell OpenManage Network Manager Client Manual

Event Definitions

You can define how the system treats
messages (events) coming into the
system. Administrators can define event
behavior deciding whether it is
suppressed, rejected or generates an
Alarm. Manage the definitions of events
in this portlet.
In this screen, you can configure events
that, when correlated as described in
Event Processing Rules on page 108,
trigger actions.
Columns include the MIB Name, Event
Name, Notification OID, Severity for associated alarms, and Default Behavior. See Event
Definition Editor for how to alter these. Right-click a selected event definition for the following
menu items:
Edit—Either open the selected event in Event Definition Editor, or open a details panel for the
underlying equipment.
Set Behavior—This lets you select from the following options.
Reject–Every received message is rejected.
Suppress–The message is tracked in Event History and then ignored.
Alarm–The message is tracked in Event History and then processed, with Correlated events
and Event Processing Rules of any type other than Syslog.
Set Severity—Set the alarm severity for the selected event.
MIB— This lets you upload a new MIB to your event definitions.
You can also configure an Aging Policy and View events as PDF in this menu. See Redcell >
Database Aging Policies (DAP) on page 50, and View as PDF on page 90 for more about those
options.
