Managing an Event Policy
Event Policies enable an administrator to create specific notification mechanisms using one, some
or all of the SNMP, syslog, forwarding or e-mail notification options available to the controller or
service platform. Each listed event can have customized notification settings defined and saved as
part of an event policy. Thus, policies can be configured and administrated in respect to specific
sets of client association, authentication/encryption and performance events. Once policies are
defined, they can be mapped to device profiles strategically as the likelihood of an event applies to
particular devices. By default, there’s no enabled event policy and one needs to be created and
implemented.
When initially displayed, the Event Policy screen lists interfaces. Existing policies can have their
event notification configurations modified as device profile requirements warrant.
To define an event policy:
1. Select Configuration > Devices > Event Policy.

option needs to remain selected to apply the event policy configuration to the profile.

select an event module used to track the occurrence of each list event.
4. Review each event and select (or deselect) the SNMP, Syslog, Forward to Switch or Email
Notification option as required for the event. Map an existing policy to a device profile as
needed. Select Profile from the Map drop-down menu in the lower-left hand side of the screen.
Expand the list of device profiles available, and apply the event policy as required.
5. Select OK to save the changes. Select Reset to revert to the last saved configuration. Delete
