Establishing scripts for alarms
In addition to configuring email and SNMP destinations for receiving alarm notifications, you can
also configure script or batch file execution when an alarm is triggered. To provide the path for
executing scripts:
1. Click Alarms in the left pane.
2. Under the Alarm Configuration tab, select the check boxes for the component records, for which
you want to provide script details. The Edit option is enabled only when you select the check
boxes for component records, for which you want to specify script or batch file location.
You can also filter component records in the Alarms table. For more information, see “Filtering
records in Alarms table” on page 147.
3. Provide the script location in the text box under Script Destination.
4. Click Edit when you complete providing the script location details for all the selected component
records.
P9000 Performance Advisor automatically executes the script when the performance of a
component crosses the set threshold level.
The output of the .bat file provided will be present in the absolute path location (example:
C:\Users\Administrator folder or system 32 folder), as it is platform dependant. Therefore, ensure
that you provide the absolute path while creating the .bat file.
