HP Systems Insight Manager 5.2 Update 2 Technical Reference Guide

Example automatic event handling tasks

HP SIM ships with three example automatic event handling tasks which are disabled by default. When the

Automatic Event Handling - Manage Tasks page is displayed, 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 because the sign-in attempt failed authentication. See “Editing automatic event handling tasks” for

more information about editing automatic event handling tasks.
