Extensions
This START panel lets you configure Extension Key Bindings. Extensions allow you to adding
extended event definitions
.
In Extension Key Bindings, use the right/left arrows to select
Key Variables from Available
Variables
. For example, if a device generates one type of trap, but has three key variables (alarmID,
state, and severity), you may extend the event definition based on state. One derived definition for
the “alarm” state and another for the “clear” state. You probably would extend based on state and
severity to define a clearing definition for all events where state is “clear” and then derive a specific
“alarm” event for each severity as defined by the vendor.
Adding Extended Event Definitions
The menu item for this screen can appear when you right-click an extendable event (one that has
one or more
Extensions ). For an implemented example, see Extending Event Definitions on page
342.
