Configuring Event Sets
Syslog Notifications
Operations Manager generates syslog messages that can be forwarded to syslog daemons on remote
systems.
Note Syslog messages cannot exceed 1024 bytes. If the syslog message exceeds this limit, it will be truncated
to 1024 bytes.
Which Systems and Users Can I Notify?
When you configure a notification group, you must specify recipients for each type of notification:
• SNMP trap—Send SNMP traps to a port number on which the host can receive traps. Operations
Manager defaults to sending SNMP traps to the port 162. However, you can specify a different port.
• E-Mail—Send e-mail to one or more addresses.
• Syslog—Send syslog messages to a remote system on which the syslog daemon is configured to
listen on a specified port. Operations Manager defaults to sending syslog messages to port 514.
However, you can specify a different port.
How Can I Limit Notifications to Those for Specific Events?
In some cases, you might want to send notifications for only a subset of the events that Operations
Manager monitors. You can set the events that are of interest to you when you define the notification
criterion:
• Specify an event set for a device-based notification criterion. You can create as many events sets as
you would like.
• Select the events that you want Operations Manager to monitor for Service Quality-based
notification criteria. There are few Service Quality-based events and you can select among them
when you add or edit Service Quality-based notification criteria.
Configuring Event Sets
Event sets enable you to group the events the you want Operations Manager to monitor for the purpose
of sending notifications.
Step 1 Select Notifications > Event Sets. The Event Set page appears. The Event Set page displays the
