9. From the Target list, select the product (the target source) to which the payload will be
deployed:
• Event Sender: Deploy the payload to the product that sent the event. If the event was sent
by a non-Brocade product, the event action will not be deployed to that product.
• Derived from: Deploy the payload to the product that matches the IP address as specified
in the attribute of the selected source. If the matching product is a non-Brocade product,
the event action will not be deployed to that product.
• Specified in the Config: Deploy the payload to the product that is specified in the payload.
If the configuration you choose contains a non-Brocade product as a target, the
configuration will not be deployed to the non-Brocade product.
10. If you selected Derived from as the target in step 9, select the attribute from the Source list.
11. From the Transformation column, specify what you want Event Processor to do with the value in
the attribute:
• None - Event Processor only reports the occurrence of the product.
• Find Device - Find the product with the IP address in the attribute and deploy the payload
to that product.
The Transformation column uses the product IP addresses and MAC addresses listed in the
Address Finder. If the Address Finder list is empty, the product or port will not be found.
12. Click Next to display the Action Group - Email Settings pane of the Add Event Action dialog box
if you selected Alert by E-mail. If you did not select Alert by E-mail, you will advance to the
Summary page.
Special events handling
The following special error conditions are examples of events that are categorized as Special
Events Handling events, a separate category that appears in the Name list of the Event Actions
dialog box. All pre-selected events are SNMP traps.
• Invalid T1 zone configuration event
• 48-blade inserted into a non-Virtual Fabric chassus
• Port fencing Fabric Watch trap, when a port is fenced
Though these error conditions are automatically considered “special events handling” events, you
can add or edit any event action and mark the action as a special event for special events handling
using the Actions pane of the Edit Event Action dialog box.
See step 5 of “Editing event actions” on page 874 for information on enabling special events
handling for an event using the Actions pane of the Edit Event Action dialog box.
