Event Management
Event Management automates tasks that are performed on the SAN. You can configure the
application to automatically perform functions, such as:
• Sending an e-mail notification when events or errors occur
• Generating reports at specific times or for specific reasons
• Exporting data
• Playing sounds for notification of events
This section describes the following topics:
• Components , page 96
• Screen , page 99
• Rules , page 100
• Managing Event Management , page 101
Components
The Event Management feature uses triggers and actions to create rules which determine when and
why SAN tasks are automatically executed.
Triggers
Triggers define the condition that causes the action to occur or fire. There are two types of triggers:
• Event trigger (page 97)
• Schedule trigger (page 98)
Both trigger types are comprised of logically-related phrases, and each phrase is composed of three
parts:
• Property— A variable for which you are setting values. There are many types of property
variables. See ” Reference ” on page 235.
• Operator—Defines the relationship between properties and their values. Table 10 lists the
available trigger operators. Multiple operators can be defined, and phrase operators describe
the relationship between them.
• Value—A user-defined value, presented in a list or entered by the user.
NOTE: Once you have selected a trigger type, you can select only options within that type to
complete the trigger phrase.
