Introduction to Event Settings in Application Discovery |
 |
Application Discovery logs various application and administrative events occurring
in the computing network. It records events that occur in association with
applications, host machines, agents, and templates. You can set the desired
severity for an event type and the location at which the event alert can be
seen.
To access and modify the attribute fields for
events, click the Admin/Config tab, then the Events tab. Figure
3-13 shows part of the event configuration fields.
The Events tab shows two panes: one for data center
events and one for administrative events. Each pane contains:
A list of event types that
can be managed,
Drop-down lists that allow
you to set the level of severity for each event type. Each severity has an iconic indicator associated with it that can
be seen in Application Discovery (by clicking the Events tab) or in
HP SIM (by looking at the uncleared events lists).
Lists that allow you to specify
where event notifications shall post for viewing.
Setting Alert Location |
|
To set the alert location:
Click the drop-down arrow to reveal the
choices.
Select the location desired for each event type. The default setting
is "Show in AD", meaning show this event type in the Application Discovery event tables
only. Use "Send to SIM" to show the event type in HP Systems Insight Manager event tables as
well as Application Discovery event tables.
Click Submit to save the change.
The new settings are applied immediately to the data displays.
If needed, you can Cancel the
changes that you have made. This action returns any changed settings shown
in the drop-down to their previous saved state.
See Appendix B: Key to Event Attributes for
the explanation of event types and alert locations.
