Modifying the default Event to generate Alarm based on Event Condition

[Waseem Ahmed]

Hi,

I have requirement to modify the default Event in CA Spectrum ​0x00011000 with Event Message "Host Device {m} of type {t} has been rebooted." to generate a Minor Alarm if the type {t} is pingable. I used the Event Rule -> Event Condition Like
Event Variable Type : Event Attribute
Value: 2
Operator: Regular Expression
Event Type Variable: String
Generate Alarm: 0xfff00009


and with 0xfff00009 I have configured to raise Minor alarm. But this condition is not working, I doubt the Event Condition is not correct. Would appreciate if someone can help.

Regards,
Waseem

Hi Waseem

What is the Event Condition you are using? please share a screenshot of the event condition dialog showing the rules you have already set up.

Waseem,

The condition you mentioned will not work as there is no event variable 2 in the event.

It should be based on Model_Class.
Condition: If Model_Class of the device (model) is Pingable, generate new event. Configure new event to generate an alarm.
For this you need to use Attribute ID of the Model_Class and its value for Pingable - 12 in the event condition.

Below is an example. Here, configure 0xfff00009 to generate alarm by adjusting the cause code.

Hope, this helps.

Great. You can use any one of them. One looks at Model Class (Value to be compared is an Integer) and another one looks at Model Type Name (Value to be compared is a Text).
