Configuring events
Managing events in HP SIM includes the following tasks:
• Automatic Event Handling which enables you to manage automatic event handling tasks,
create new automatic event handling tasks, and configure e-mail and modem settings.
• Clearing Events which enables you to clear events.
• Deleting Events which enables you to delete events from the database.
• Event Filter Settings which enables you to filter SNMPtraps you receive from discovered systems.
The default setting is to accept all registered SNMP traps from all discovered systems. You
can specify the severity of the traps you want to see and use the IP address ranges to create
a subset of systems whose traps you can receive or ignore. For example, you can use event
filtering to ignore informational traps. This feature is available to users with administrative
rights.
• SNMP Trap Settings which enables you to tailor trap messages to your specific network needs.
Trap messages can be cryptic, poorly written, and incomprehensible. You can modify the MIB
information in the database representation. You can also modify a .cfg file of the MIB. HP
recommends that you never modify an actual MIB.
• Status Change Event Settings which enables you to configure the settings for sending status
change events for systems when hardware status changes.
• Subscribing to WBEM Events which enables you to subscribe to WBEM events.
• Unsubscribing to WBEM Events which enables you to unsubscribe to WBEM events.
Editing automatic event handling tasks
Two users cannot edit Automatic Event Handling tasks at the same time. The first user to click Finish
has their changes saved. The second user receives an error message, stating Unable to modify
task.
NOTE: After a task is selected on the Automatic Event Handling - Manage Tasks page, the task
summary appears when clicking View Definition.
Procedure 154 Editing events
• Follow the on-screen instructions.
See Creating an automatic event handling task for more information about each of the steps.
NOTE: Select an event collection or an event combination collection. The event collection
is a collection that is made up of event attributes. If you select an event collection that contains
additional event collections, you will receive an error message.
