Sets a user-defined system variable to a new value or resets the value of an existing system variable. IBM® Systems Director provides user-defined system variables to help you test and track the status of network resources according to the needs of your organization. System variable names and values can be referenced wherever event data substitution is allowed.
If 10 seconds elapse before IBM Systems Director Server receives the event that triggers this action or before IBM Systems Director Server stops and restarts, the NetStatus system variable is reset to normal.
Instead of using a specific event that signals that your NetStatus is Normal, you have used a system variable that automatically resets to normal when the events that cause this action to trigger are not received within the interval. If IBM Systems Director Server continues to receive the events before the interval expires, this action continues to trigger, signaling that the network is congested. If the timer interval expires, NetStatus is reset to Normal.
