Event Rules and Actions
A benefit of the product's intelligence is its ability to notify you of and
react to a change in conditions. This event notification or reaction is an
"event rule."
The EMX is shipped with two built-in event rules, which cannot be
deleted.
System Event Log Rule: This causes ANY event occurred to the
EMX to be recorded in the internal log. It is enabled by default.
System SNMP Notification Action: This causes SNMP traps or
informs to be sent to specified IP addresses or hosts when ANY
event occurs to the EMX. It is disabled by default.
If these two do not satisfy your needs, you can create additional rules to
respond to different events.
Note: Internet Explorer
®
8 (IE8) does not use compiled JAVA script.
When using IE8 to create or change event rules, the CPU performance
may be degraded, resulting in the appearance of the connection time out
message. When this occurs, click Ignore to continue.
Components of an Event Rule
An event rule defines what the EMX does in certain situations and is
composed of two parts:
Event: This is the situation where the EMX or part of it meets a
certain condition. For example, the temperature sensor exceeds the
warning threshold.
Action: This is the response to the event. For example, the EMX
notifies the system administrator of the event and records the event
in the log.
Note: Asset management sensor event rules must be recreated after an
EMX firmware upgrade.
