Simple event filters are general-purpose
filters; most event automation plans use
a simple event filter.
In addition to any simple event filters that you create,
IBM® Systems Director provides
the following predefined, read-only simple event filters in the Event
Filters page.
Note: You cannot change predefined event
filters; they are read-only. However, you can copy a predefined filter and
change the copy. For more information, see "Copying an event filter."
- All events
- Processes any events that occur on any system, except for
Windows-specific and IBM i-specific
events.
- Common Agent offline
- Processes only those events that are generated by the Common Agent when it
goes offline
- Critical events
- Processes only those events that have a Critical severity.
- Disk Use
- Processes only those events that are generated when the currently
available hard disk space in a system changes with respect to availability.
- Environmental sensor events
- Processes only those events that are associated with the condition
of a system environment, such as voltage and temperature.
- Fatal events
- Processes only those events that have a Fatal severity.
- Hardware Predictive Failure Analysis® events
- Processes only those events that are generated when a Predictive Failure
Analysis is detected for a hardware component.
- Informational events
- Processes only those events that have a Informational severity.
- Memory use
- Processes only those events that are generated when the currently
available memory in a system changes with respect to availability.
- Minor events
- Processes only those events that have a Minor severity.
- Processor use
- Processes only those events that are generated when the state
of a processor (CPU) has changed.
- Security events
- Processes only those events that are generated by specific
security protocols, for example, log on failed due to an undefined
user ID, or incorrect or expired password.
- Storage events
- Processes only those events that are generated by storage components,
such as RAID configurations, for example, when creating,
modifying, or destroying a storage volume or storage pool.
- Unknown events
- Processes only those events that have a Unknown severity.
- Warning events
- Processes only those events that have a Warning severity.
Some of these predefined filters use the severity
of events to determine which events can pass through;
other filters target a specific type of event. Using one of these
predefined event filters ensures that the correct event type or event
severity is selected.
