You can select the events that you want filter. When these events occur, your event automation plan can respond with one or more customized event actions. Common event filters are predefined simple filters that monitor for events of common interest in systems management. For example, the Disks event filter is triggered by any hard disk events and the Fans event filter is triggered by any fan events. The Event Automation Plan wizard provides several common event filters so you can create typically required event automation plans quickly and easily. For more information about event filters, see "Event filters." For more information about advanced event filters, see "Selecting specific events for filtering."
Complete the following steps to select common categories of events for filtering in your event automation plan:
