Generates a defined alarm event only if IBM® Systems
Director does not receive
a specified event within a specified time range. This event
action is useful for monitoring for a loss of function, much like a heartbeat
monitor.
Note: If the event type defined by this event action is
correlated with another timed alarm that generates an event in an event automation plan,
the timed alarm defined in the action is triggered when IBM Systems
Director Server receives
an event that matches the event type.
Fields
- Timed alarm ID
- Specifies the ID of the timed alarm. You can use event-data substitution
to include text of the event that generates this action.
- Time until alarm triggers, in seconds (0=Cancel)
- Specifies the interval, in seconds, during which the event associated
with this action must be received to avoid triggering this action. If the
associated event is received within the specified interval, this action is
not triggered and the timer is reset to begin countdown again.
- Event text
- Specifies the event text that you want to associate with this action.
You can use event-data substitution to include the text of the event that
generates this action.
- Alarm event subtype
- Specifies a user-defined subtype. When you save this action, the event
type is defined to IBM Systems
Director Server as IBM Systems
Director>Alarm Triggered, and
the text subtype entered in this field specifies the subtype portion of IBM Systems
Director>Alarm Triggered>subtype.
When IBM Systems
Director Server becomes aware
of this event type, you can select it when creating an event filter.
- Problem severity
- Specifies that you want to either keep the severity assigned to the event
that triggers this action (Use event severity) or choose another severity
level from the list.
