Alarms in NetView
When an event of a selected type occurs, alarms are sent in the form of a trap generated by
the MetaConsole client. These alarms are received by NetView and added to the NetView
Event Browser.
If you would like to change the format of the message that is written into the NetView
event browser when a MetaConsole alarm occurs:
1. Select Options/Traps from within the NetView Event Browser.
2. Select the metaconsole enterprise and valueChangedAlert trap then choose Proper-
ties.
3. Change the Events Description.
If you would like to change the category under which MetaConsole alarms are
grouped in the NetView event browser:
1. Select Options/Traps from within the NetView Event Browser.
2. Select the metaconsole enterprise and valueChangedAlert trap then choose Proper-
ties.
3. Change the Event Category.
Alarms in Unicenter
When an event of a selected type occurs, the MetaConsole client adds alarms by sending a
message to Event Management for processing. These logged alarms can be viewed in EM
Console or by launching Console Logs from the enterprise Management view of Unicenter Ex-
plorer. MetaConsole alarms are logged in orange text and all message begin with “MetaCon-
sole” followed by the address of the device and the text information returned from the device.
Alarms in MetaConsole
When an event of a specified type occurs, MetaConsole notifies you by flashing a message in
the status bar of each MetaConsole client (Browser) window launched from an OpenView/
NetView terminal node. In addition, you may view lists of alarms on the View Alarms page
within each MetaConsole server’s Configuration node.
You can use the Alarm Notification Methods page at the top level of MetaConsole configu-
ration to select any combination of alert boxes, system beeps, email messages, and pager text
messages as alarm notification methods. (See “Specifying Alarm Notification Methods in
OpenView” on page 37, “Specifying Alarm Notification Methods in NetView” on page 54,
“Specifying Alarm Notification Methods in MMC” on page 71, or “Specifying Alarm Notification
Methods in Unicenter” on page 89.) The Alert Box option causes a message box to appear
when a monitored event is detected. Only one alert box is visible at a time, so additional alarms
that occur while an alert box is open will not generate additional alert boxes.
Note : If you are viewing a page that has an object selected for monitoring and a
monitored event occurs for that object, one of two things will happen. If the page is not
editable, it is refreshed automatically. If the page can be edited, however, a dialog box
appears. The box will indicate that an alarm has occurred and will prompt you to refresh
the page. If this happens, click
YES to update the page immediately or NO to ignore the
alarm.
Note: If you have selected the Alert Box option, always make sure that a new pop-up is an
Alert Box and not a request for user input or action.
