Adding a pseudo event on the flapping policy
The flapping policy checks to see if the event consistently transitions between two opposite states
during a specified length of time. If it does, then the specified action in the definition is performed.
The following two-part procedure uses both the Add Pseudo Events dialog box and the Add Event
Actions dialog box to create an event action with the flapping policy.
To add a pseudo event on the flapping policy, complete the following steps.
1. Select Monitor > Event Processing > Pseudo Events.
The Pseudo Events dialog box displays.
2. Click Add.
The Identification pane of the Add Pseudo Event dialog box displays.
3. Enter a name for the pseudo event, and select the Enabled check box to enable the event.
4. Click Next.
The Policy pane of the Add Pseudo Event dialog box displays.
5. Click the Flapping button, and then enter the duration of time the Event Processor will wait
before generating the pseudo event. Specify the number of flapping times in minutes or
seconds.
6. Click Next.
The Events pane of the Add Pseudo Event dialog box displays.
7. Select a critical event, such as LinkDown, and click the right arrow button to move it to the
Selected Down Trap list.
8. Select a remediation event, such as LinkUp, and click the right arrow button to move it to the
Selected Up Trap list.
