2. Click the Resolve button to create a resolve policy, and then enter the duration of time the
Event Processor waits before generating the pseudo event. Specify the resolve time in minutes
or seconds.
When a down event occurs, a resolving policy waits for a specified duration to see if the event
remains in that state by checking if an up event occurs. If an up event occurs, a resolving
pseudo event is generated by the Event Processor.
Refer to “Creating an event action with a pseudo event on the resolving policy” on page 1303
for complete instructions.
3. Click the Flapping button to create a flapping policy, and then enter the number of occurrences
and the duration of time before the Management application performs the action specified in
an event action. Specify the number of flapping times in minutes or seconds.
The flapping policy checks to see if the event consistently transitions between two opposite
states during a specified length of time. If it does, then the specified action in the definition is
performed.
Refer to “Creating an event action with a pseudo event on the flapping policy” on page 1304
for complete instructions.
4. Enter a description in the Message field. This description is displayed in the event log for this
pseudo event. The event log displays the exact text you enter in this field; therefore, this
message should describe the events in the event action policy.
5. Select a severity from the Severity list. You must assign a severity to the pseudo event.
6. Click Next.
The Events pane of the Add Pseudo Event dialog box, shown in Figure 563 , displays.
Refer to the following topics for specific procedures using this dialog box:
• “Creating pseudo event definitions” on page 1295
• “Editing a pseudo event definition” on page 1299
Filtering pseudo event traps
The Events pane contains a Selected Down Trap list and a Selected Up Trap list. The Selected Down
Trap list defines the traps for the down state of a product or an interface. The Selected Up Trap list
defines the traps for the up state of the product or an interface.
NOTE
By default in a SAN+IP configuration, all traps known to the Management application are included
in the Available Traps list, under the folders for the MIB to which they belong.
To filter pseudo event traps, complete the following steps.
1. Select Monitor > Event Processing > Pseudo Events.
The Pseudo Events dialog box, shown in Figure 561 , displays.
2. Click Add.
The Events pane of the Add Pseudo Event dialog box, shown in Figure 563 , displays.
