Editing event actions
The Edit Event Action Group - Actions dialog box, shown in Figure 389, defines what action the
Management application takes when the criteria are met.
FIGURE 389 Action Group - Actions pane of the Edit Event Action dialog box
1. Select Apply as a Logging Policy to indicate whether or not you want the event occurrence to be
logged in the Management application database:
• Select Log to log the occurrence in the Management application database and master log.
• Select Drop to not log the occurrence in the Management application database or master
log.
NOTE
If the policy specifies Act as specified on the Policy pane of the Add Event Action dialog
box, and you select Log for this parameter, only events that meet the criteria defined in the
Act as specified area are logged. For example, if the event is logged when 10 link down
traps occur during a one-minute interval, then one record will be logged after 10 link down
traps occur. If you want all 10 link down traps to be logged, then create a policy where Act
on all occurrences is selected on the Policy pane of the Add Event Action dialog box.
2. Select the Alert by E-mail check box if you want an e-mail message to be sent to an
administrator if the policy criteria have been met.
3. Select the Launch a Script check box if you want to execute to an external script file when the
matching criteria have been met, and then enter the script in the accompanying field.
4. Select the Broadcast to Client check box, and click Configure to broadcast a message to all the
clients when the matching criteria have been met.
NOTE
The remaining parameters are not available if a non-Brocade product is selected as an event
sender.
