Configuring event action policies
The Policy pane of the Add Event Action dialog box, shown in Figure 554 , allows you to define the
frequency of the event, enter a message for an event that will be displayed in the event log, and
specify the event severity.

Policy pane of the Add Event Action dialog box
To configure the event action policies, complete the following steps.
1. Click Take actions for the selected events when they occur (default) if you want the action to be
triggered each time the selected events occur.
2. Click Take actions for the selected events based on below criteria if you want the action to be
triggered only when the occurrence of the event meets the specified criteria.
•
Click Frequency bound (act as count reaches the count specified) if you want the
Management application to perform the specified action once the specified number of
occurrences has occurred
during the specified duration. For example, if you want the
action to be applied when 10 link down traps occur during a one-minute interval, then the
specified action will be applied as soon as 10 link down traps occur, even though the one-
minute duration has not elapsed.
•
Click Time bound (act at the end of the duration specified) if you want the Management
application to perform the specified action once the specified number of occurrences has
occurred
and the specified duration has elapsed. For example, if you want the action to be
applied when 10 link down traps occur during a one-minute duration, the Management
application waits until 10 link down traps occur and one minute has elapsed before the
defined action is applied. There is a one-second delay for the action to be applied.
For either option, if the number of occurrences has not been met and the time duration has
elapsed, the observation window is advanced to the next occurrence after the first occurrence
on the current window.
3. Enter values in the If occurs __ times within __ fields and select a value from the Minutes list if
you want the action to be applied only if the event occurs at a certain frequency.
