Adding a pseudo event on the escalation policy
Use the escalation policy to be notified if a critical event occurs on a product, port, or system. When
the event occurs, the escalation policy waits for a duration of time to see if the event remains in
that state. If it does, then the specified action in the definition is performed.
The following two-part procedure uses both the Identification pane of the Add Pseudo Events dialog
box and the Add Event Actions dialog box to create an event action with the escalation policy.
1. Select Monitor > Event Processing > Pseudo Events.
The Pseudo Events dialog box displays.
2. Click Add.
The Identification pane of the Add Pseudo Event dialog box displays.
3. Enter a name for the pseudo event.
4. Click the Enabled check box to enable the event, and click Next.
The Policy pane of the Add Pseudo Event dialog box displays.
5. Click the Escalation button, and then enter the duration of time the Event Processor will wait
before generating the pseudo event. Specify the escalation time in minutes or seconds.

Selected Down Trap list.

Selected Up Trap list.
