Setting Event Attributes
Introduction to Event Settings in Application Discovery
Application Discovery logs various application and administrative events occurring in the
computing network. It records events that occur in association with applications, host machines,
agents, and templates. You can set the desired severity for an event type and the location at
which the event alert can be seen.
To access and modify the attribute fields for events, click the Admin/Config tab, then the Events
tab. The next figure shows part of the event configuration fields.

Each pane contains:

Drop-down lists that allow you to set the level of severity for each event type. Each severity

the Events tab) or in HP SIM (by looking at the uncleared events lists).
Lists that allow you to specify where event notifications shall post for viewing.
