Specifying Events Data

Selecting Filter Criteria

This section describes how to specify the types of SPECTRUM events and

alarms data you want to export for the models you have selected. The Select

Filter Criteria list includes three ﬁltering options:

• Select All Events — All events and alarms for the selected models are

exported. This is the default setting.

• Filter on Event Codes — Only the events that match the codes you select

are for the selected models are exported.

• Filter on Alarms — Only alarms of the severity level you specify for the

selected models are exported.

Selecting Event Codes

Event Codes are the numeric strings mapped to SPECTRUM events. By

specifying event codes you specify the event information you want to export

for the models you have selected.

To select the event codes:

1. Select the Filter on Event Codes button from the Select Filter Criteria

list in the Events Filter dialog box (Figure 3-7). The Select Event

Code(s) dialog box (Figure 3-9) appears.

2. Select the event codes you want from the Files list by clicking on them,

and then click on the OK button to return to the Events Filter dialog box.

NOTE

Although you can specify an alternative directory from which event codes can

be selected, it is important that this directory’s structure has been set up

correctly. For example, if any of the event codes contain an alarm condition,

an EventTables subdirectory containing a Condition ﬁle is required in

order to properly expand the event message. See the existing structure of the

. . ./SG-Support/CsEvFormat directory for more information, and the

SPECTRUM manual, Modeling with the GnSNMPDev Toolkit, for

information on event processing.
