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.
