Editing a pseudo event definition
Use caution when you modify pseudo events. Saving changes to a pseudo event definition resets
the run-time information for that pseudo event.
1. Select Monitor > Event Processing > Pseudo Events.
The Pseudo Events dialog box, shown in Figure 394, displays.
2. Select the pseudo event definition that you want to edit from the Pseudo Events list.
3. Click the Edit button to display the Edit Pseudo Event dialog box.
4. Make the changes you want to make to the definition. Refer to “Creating pseudo event
definitions” on page 882 for details.
5. Click Finish to save your definition.
Deleting a pseudo event
Use caution when you delete pseudo events. Deleting a pseudo event definition discards the
run-time information for that pseudo event.
1. Select Monitor > Event Processing > Pseudo Events.
The Pseudo Events dialog box, shown in Figure 394, displays.
2. Select the pseudo event definition that you want to delete from the Pseudo Events list.
3. Click Delete.
A message displays, prompting you to confirm the deletion request.
4. Click Yes to delete the selected definition.
The definition is removed from the Pseudo Events list.
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 Add Pseudo Event Identification dialog box displays.
3. Enter a name and description 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 Policy 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 hours.
