Chapter 7: Event Rules, Event Actions and Application Logs

Creating an Event Rule
The best way to create a new set of event rule, in sequence, is:
Create actions for responding to one or multiple events
Create rules to determine what actions are taken when these events
occur
Creating Rules
After required actions are available, you can create event rules to
determine what actions are taken to respond to specific events.
By default, the EMX provides two built-in event rules -- System Event
Log Rule and System SNMP Notification Action. If the built-in rules do
not satisfy your needs, create new ones.
To create event rules:
1. Choose Device Settings > Event Rules. The Event Rule Settings
dialog appears.
2. On the Rules tab, click New.
3. In the "Rule name" field, type a new name for identifying the rule.
The default name is New Rule <number>, where <number> is a
sequential number.
4. Select the Enable checkbox to enable the SNMP notification feature.
5. Click Event to select an event for which you want to trigger an action.
A pull-down menu showing various types of events appears.
Select the desired event type from the pull-down menu, and if a
submenu appears, continue the navigation until the desired
event is selected.
Note: The option <Any sub-event> refers to all events/items listed on
the same submenu, <Any slot> refers to all slots, <Any server>
refers to all servers, and <Any user> refers to all users.
6. According to the event you selected in the previous step, the "Trigger
condition" field containing three radio buttons may or may not
appear.
