A condition consists of a match condition part that determines to
which events detected in the message source the condition applies.
Among other message attributes, the message text can be used in the
match condition. You can specify patterns using regular expressions
which the message text must match.
If a condition is a suppress matched condition, it is used to
suppress message generation for events that match the condition,
whereas if it is a suppress unmatched condition, it is used to
suppress message generation for events that do not match the
condition. Consequently, for a suppress condition, all you need to
specify is the match condition. For a message condition that triggers
the generation of a message, you also need to define the following:
• Attributes of the generated message, for example, what message
text to use, the severity level, the service name, etc.
• Custom message attributes of the generated message. These are
attributes that you can set to provide your operators with more
relevant information about a message.
• Instructions, annotations, automatic and operator-initiated
actions to be associated with the message
• Whether the message is to be forwarded to a trouble ticket system
or should trigger an external notification.
❏ Template Options
At the template level, you can specify which messages to log locally on
the managed node. In addition, you also need to decide how to handle
entries in the message source that match neither a message condition
nor a suppress condition.
❏ Advanced Options
You can set the defaults for advanced options at both the template
and message condition level. If different values for the advanced
options are set at the message condition level, these will overwrite the
template defaults. The advanced options specify whether duplicate or
similar messages are to be suppressed and whether to copy or divert
messages to processes which use the server or agent message stream
interface API.
