Specifying the time range for event automation plan activation

When creating an event automation plan, you can specify the time range for the plan to be active. You will want many plans to be active all the time. However, you might need other plans to be active at only certain times, such as weekends or overnight.

About this task

Complete the following steps to specify the time range for the event automation plan activation:

  1. On the Time range page, choose the period of time over which you want to collect the events. You can select All day (24 x 7) to enable the plan to be active all the time. Or you can select Custom to choose specific days for the plan to be active.
  2. If you selected All day (24 x 7), go to step 6. Otherwise, in the Days list, select the day for which you want to set the start and end times of the time range.
  3. Select the All day check box if you want the 24 hours of the selected week day monitored. However, if you want to monitor less than the 24 hours of the selected week day, select the start time of the time range from the Start time list and the end time of the time range from the End time list.
  4. Click Add. The day and time range that you specified is added to the event automation plan and is displayed at the bottom of the Time range page.
  5. If you want to specify additional time ranges, repeat steps 2 through 4 for each time range that you want to specify. If you want to remove one of the time ranges you specified, select that range and click Remove.
  6. When you are satisfied with the specified time ranges, click Next.
  7. On the Summary page, verify the details of the event automation plan. If you need to make changes, click < Back.
  8. When you are done editing the event automation plan, click Finish.
