Use this dialog to define a timed event
that is generated and sent only if the the %ProductServerName% does not
receive the associated event. The event must be received within the
specified interval to reset the alarm timer.
If the event type defined by this event action is correlated with another
instance of this same action (Define a Timed Alarm to Generate an Event)
in an event action plan, when the %ProductServerName% receives an event that
matches the event type, the timed alarm defined in the action is triggered.
- Timed Alarm ID
- Enter 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)
- Enter 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
- Enter the event text 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 Sub-Type
- Enter a user-defined subtype. When you save this action, the event
type is defined to the %ProductServerName% as %ProductName%.Alarm Triggered,
and the text subtype entered in this field specifies the subtype portion
of %ProductName%.Alarm Triggered.subtype. When the %ProductName% server
becomes aware of this event type, you can select it when creating an event
filter.
- Problem Severity
- Select to either keep the severity assigned to the event that triggers this
action (Use Event Severity) or choose another severity level from the
pulldown list.
