Event Processing Rules | Key Portlets
Set Severity —This rule overrides the default alarm severity of an event selected and filtered in the
upper screen.
State Flutter —This type of rule changes event behavior on transient state change events like a
series of LinkUp and LinkDown events for the same interface.
After you select the event and filtering, enter the Interval (seconds), the Action ( Reject or
Suppress the event) and check Publish Event if you want it to register for Dell OpenManage
Network Manager. If you Reject an event, it does not appear in Event history; if you Publish
it, however, listeners for that event will “hear” it.
Suppress Alarm
—This screen presents the
Specify Event Filtering
portion of the screen without
any Settings in the lower screen. Specify events/alarms to suppress with this selection and
filtering.
Syslog —This screen presents the Specify Event Filtering portion of the screen without any
Settings in the lower screen. Specify events to select. Then click Next to go to the Escalation
tab.
Post-processing (automation) rules let you modify the Specify Event Filtering portion of the screen
without any Settings in the lower screen. Specify events to select. Then click Next to go to the
Actions
tab. See Actions on page 116 for more about that feature.
