HP Systems Insight Manager 5.2 Update 2 Technical Reference Guide

Customize collections table
When the Customize Collections page appears, if the collection and system status is displayed in the
System and Event Collections panel, a table is displayed that includes the names of all the collections.
Available buttons
The following options are available on the Customize Collections page for events:
• New This enables you to create a new event collection. If you have administrative rights, you can
save the new collection as a shared collection. Otherwise, you can only save it as a private collection.
See “Performing an advanced search for events” for more information about creating an event collection
by attributes.
• Edit This enables you to modify an existing collection name and its contents. See “Editing event
collections” for more information about editing event collections.
• Move This enables you to move collections from one collection to another, either from a private to a
shared collection, or from a shared to a private collection. See “Moving system or cluster collections”
for more information about moving system collections.
• Copy This enables you to copy a collection as another collection. See “Copying system or cluster
collections” for more information.
• Delete This enables you to delete an existing event collection or system and event combination
collections. If you have administrative rights, you can delete a shared event collection. Only empty
event collections can be deleted. See “ Deleting event collections” for more information.
• Set Properties This enables you to set the visibility of the collection and its members. See “Setting
properties for a system or cluster collection” for more information.
Command line interface
Users with administrative rights can use the mxcollection command to set properties for collections from
the command line interface (CLI).
See “Using command line interface commands” for more information about accessing the manpage, which
includes detailed information for this command.
