Example automatic event handling tasks
HP SIM ships with three example automatic event handling tasks that are disabled by default. When the
Automatic Event Handling - Manage Tasks page appears, you can select one of the example tasks and
click View Definition.
• example - all desktop information events This task is triggered when an informational event is received
from the discovered desktop systems, and this task clears the event. The same task can be edited to
change the action of the system criteria . See “Editing automatic event handling tasks” for more
information about editing automatic event handling tasks.
• example - all linux MIB updates This task is triggered when a MIB update events request is received
from all managed Linux target systems that are discovered and identified in HP SIM. The same task can
be edited and saved as new task. See “Editing automatic event handling tasks” for more information
about editing automatic event handling tasks.
• example - all server failed sign-in events This task is triggered when a failed sign-in attempt is made.
Sign-in failure might be caused by an invalid user account, sign-in attempt from an excluded IP address,
or failed sign-in authentication. See “Editing automatic event handling tasks” for more information about
editing automatic event handling tasks.
