3.5 Identifying important events among a large number of issued events

While the system is being monitored, a large number of events might be issued in a short period of time. In this case, important events buried in many other events might be overlooked.

In this section, we will consolidate a large number of events into one event so that important events are not overlooked.

This manual describes how to use the Repeated Event Condition Settings window to specify that repeatedly-issued events that match the following conditions are immediately displayed as one consolidated event:

• Source host: Host A

• Severity level: Warning

• Message: A memory shortage occurred on host B

• Event ID: 123

Tip:

To prevent automated actions from being executed when a large number of events are issued:

If you do not want to execute automated actions when a large number of events specified in the automated action definition are issued, you can use the Repeated Event Condition Settings window to suppress automated actions. For details about the Repeated Event Condition Settings window, see 2.17 Repeated Event Condition Settings window in the manual GUI Reference.
