OVNM 5.3 - Operations Agent for NonStop Object Configuration Client Guide

Object Configuration Client: The Understanding 44
The eEvent Status drop-down box allows the user to specify the action to be performed on the event.
• ACTIVE
If selected, this option will allow the processing of the message as described in the eEvents tab page and
send the message to the Enterprise console. This is the default option.
• INACTIVE
If selected, this option will not apply the instructions defined in the Events tab page. The overrides will not
be applied to the message but the message will still be sent to the Enterprise console with the default
EMON formatting.
• DROP THIS EVENT
If selected, this option will not forward the message to the Enterprise console. This will block the message
from being forwarded. No other information needs to be provided when this option is selected.
• CUSTOM
This option is available only when the Tivoli option is selected and the customized message is forwarded to
the Tivoli Management Console. OVNM allows logging of any user message with user supplied class
and/or user supplied slots. The CUSTOM option allows the user to define the message class and its slots.
During message construction, the user can use a static text, supplied substitution parameters or any
standard/user token value of the actual EMS message.
The format to define the message layout is simple and follows the below mentioned convention.
MsgClassName;
soltName=’slotVal’;
slotName=’slotVal’;
……………………
……………………
slotName=’slotVal’;
Where, slotVal could be a static text, supplied macro or User/Standard EMS token

In the example above, the message class will be set to HOST_MRO_OPS. The severity slot will be set to
CRITICAL. The msg slot will be set to the first 256 bytes of the message text. The msg_type slot will be set to
‘actionid: Value of the supplied token’. The location slot will be set to the ‘collName: Value of the supplied
token’. The value of the ownership will be set to ‘Process: Value of the supplied token’.
If the Append mode check box is selected, the slots will be appended to the standard message format and
the message class will be decided using the cdf file conditions.
