Events that are available for filtering

Using the Event Automation Plan wizard you can select from commonly used sets of events. Occasionally, you might need to create a filter using specialized events. The Event Automation Plan wizard provides a means to do this also. All currently available event types are displayed in the tree on the Event Type page in the Event Filter Builder window, except for the IBM® i message queue events. The Event Type page provides a way to specify the IBM i message queue events without using the tree.

The default installation of IBM Systems Director and its default plug-ins publish their events in the Event Type tree when one of the following software starts:

However, optional plug-ins might vary in whether the events are published when one of these software starts. When the events are published depends on how the optional plug-ins are implemented.

If you add a plug-in to your IBM Systems Director installation, the plug-in might publish its events either when it is added to the installation or when the plug-in sends its first event. If the plug-in publishes when it sends its first event, only that event is published.
Note: Events from the Windows® event log are displayed in the Windows event log tree in the Event Type Filter Builder. Events from WMI are displayed in the Common Information Model (CIM) tree.
