Event action definitions

To configure the policies for the event action, complete the following steps.
1. Select Apply as a Logging Policy to indicate whether or not you want the event occurrence to be
logged in the Management application database:
- Select Log to log the occurrence in the Management application database and Master
Log.
- Select Drop to not log the occurrence in the Management application database or Master
Log.
NOTE
If the policy specifies Act as specified on the Policy pane of the Add Event Action dialog
box, and you select Log for this parameter, only events that meet the criteria defined in the
Act as specified area are logged. For example, if the event is logged when 10 link down
traps occur during a one-minute interval, then one record will be logged after 10 link down
traps occur. If you want all 10 link down traps to be logged, then create a policy where
Act on all occurrences is selected on the Policy pane of the Add Event Action dialog box.
2. Select the Auto Acknowledge check box to suppress events without being in troubleshooting
mode. Activating this also helps to avoid cluttering Master Log with unwanted messages
without modifying filters.
NOTE
Auto Acknowledge is enabled only when Take actions for the selected events when they occur
is selected in the Policy step of the Event Actions Wizard. If you edit an Event Action that has
Auto Acknowledge selected and change this option in the Policy step to Time-bound or
Frequency-bound, you will be required to confirm your choice.
3. Select the Enable Troubleshooting check box to suppress events based on user-entered
criteria. You can suppress events for up to 168 hours (7 days). This action is applicable to IP
devices only.
4. Select the Alert by E-mail check box if you want an e-mail message to be sent to an
administrator if the policy criteria have been met.
5. Select the Run Policy Monitor check box to execute a policy monitor as an action based on a
selected event, and then select the target for the policy monitor from the list. Target options
include Event Sender and Specified in Config.
6. Select the Launch a Script check box if you want to execute to an external script file when the
matching criteria have been met, and then enter the script in the accompanying field.
7. Select the Broadcast to Client check box, and click Configure to broadcast a message to all the
clients when the matching criteria have been met.
NOTE
The remaining parameters are not available if a non-Fabric OS, IronWare OS, or Network OS
product is selected as an event sender.
