Automatic event handling
Before HP SIM 5.1, users of HP SIM had to recreate their event collections every time they wanted to
monitor events on different systems, even if the events were the same. This was often a labor-intensive
process. With HP SIM 5.1, the process has been streamlined so you can apply the same event
collection to multiple system collections, without having to start over each time.
Figure 18. Creating automatic event handling task– Step 2
As before, you can either select an existing event collection or create a set of events for automatic
event handling from within the wizard. You can do the same thing with systems. You can select a
system collection that already exists or you can create a group of systems from within the wizard.
Figure 19. Creating automatic event handling task– Step 3
Unlike before, when system criteria were permanently embedded in event collections, you can now
mix and match event collections and system collections.
Note: If you select a combination collection for the events collection, then the systems are already
specified within that collection. In this case, the Select systems step of the Automatic Event
Handling wizard is skipped. When you get to this step, the systems have been specified already.
