Use an event report action to send information about an event on a managed system or an OS 2200 console to Operations Sentinel. You can specify actions that write entries to Operations Sentinel logs; that raise, clear, or acknowledge alerts; that change attribute values in Operations Sentinel Console; and that send commands to a system managed by Operations Sentinel.
For information about event report concepts and general syntax, see the Operations Sentinel Administration and Configuration Guide.
Required Attribute Value Pairs
Three attribute value pairs are required for all event reports. They must be specified in the following order:
TYPE
CLASS
INSTANCE
The CLASS attribute must be defined as follows:
CLASS=[owner-class-name . ]
The INSTANCE attribute must be defined as follows:
INSTANCE=[ owner-object-name . ].
Note: The names must be exactly as they appear in the Properties pane of the console. Typically, the names are in the following format:
owner-class-name<space>.<space>class-name
There is a space before and after the period (.). If the names do not match, the alerts will not be generated and they will not appear in the expected place. For example, the alerts directed to a managed object will appear in other alerts.
Optional Attribute Value Pairs
After you specify the TYPE, CLASS, and INSTANCE attribute value pairs, you can specify additional attribute value pairs in any order.
