Event Viewer
The Event Viewer allows operators to view and respond to events.
An event can have a status as follows:
- ACK
- An operator or rule has acknowledged the event.
- CLOSED
- An operator or rule has fixed the problem that
was reported by the event. An event adapter can also
send an event with a status of CLOSED to indicate
that a previously received event of the specified class
should have its status changed to CLOSED; the
previously received event to be closed is the most
recent duplicate of the same event. The event being
sent with a CLOSED status is dropped and not
stored in the event repository.
- custom_status
- A status that has been added to the STATUS
enumeration for site-specific purposes. The STATUS
enumeration shipped by Tivoli is defined in the
root.baroc file. To add a new status, edit this file,
recompile the rule base, and then restart the event server.
- OPEN
- The event has been received by the event server, but
an operator or rule has not acknowledged it.
- RESPONSE
- A rule has automatically responded to the event. This
status is assigned by a rule language predicate. It is
not available from the Event Viewer.
Assumptions and Prerequisites
- An event console definition must be created by an administrator
for operators.
- The appropriate TMR roles and
event group roles must be assigned to operators so they
can access the event console and
respond to events.
- The event server must be running to show events on consoles.
