The Policy pane of the Add Pseudo Event dialog box is displayed in Figure 395.
FIGURE 395 Policy pane of the Add Pseudo Event dialog box
1. Click the Escalation button to create an escalation policy, and then enter the duration of time
that the Management application waits before performing the specified action. Specify the
escalation time in minutes or hours.
When an event occurs, an 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.
Refer to “Adding a pseudo event on the escalation policy” on page 886 for complete
instructions.
2. Click the Resolve button to create a resolve policy, and then enter the duration of time the
Event Processor waits before generating the pseudo event. Specify the resolve time in minutes
or hours.
When a down event occurs, a resolving policy waits for a duration to see if the events remain in
that state. If the event does remain in the down state, a resolving pseudo event is generated by
the Event Processor.
Refer to “Creating an event action with a pseudo event on the resolving policy” on page 889 for
complete instructions.
3. Click the Flapping button to create a flapping policy, and then enter the number of occurrences
and the duration of time before the Management application performs the action specified in
an event action. Specify the number of flapping times in minutes or hours.
The flapping policy checks to see if the event consistently transitions between two opposite
states during a specified length of time. If it does, then the specified action in the definition is
performed.
