Event action definitions
To reduce the amount of events being logged in the Management application database, the
Event Actions dialog box allows you to control what events the Management application monitors,
on which products they are to be monitored, how often they are to be monitored, and what to do
when the monitored events are generated. This information can be defined by creating an event
action definition.
For example, you can create an event action definition if you want the Management application to
monitor link up and link down traps only, and only on products that belong to Product Group 1.
Furthermore, you may want these traps to be logged in the Management application database only
if they occur 10 times within a 5-minute interval. You may also want an e-mail message sent to a
network administrator when these traps are generated.
In another case, you may not want to log any occurrence of Topology Change traps from Product
Group 2. You may also want to disable a port on a product if an event that resembles an attack on
the network occurs at a certain frequency.
