Managing Policies 592
• Generate Event - Policy Manager generates an event of the specified event type. The event
appears in Event Manager. Select one of the following event types.
IMPORTANT: Since the severity level for an element is set by the manufacturer, the
meanings of the severity levels vary. It is best to view the description of the event.
• Unknown - The severity level is not known.
• Informational - An example of an informational event is a progress report event for
firmware download operation currently in progress.
• Warning - An example of a warning is one or more new physical fabric objects (device
port, switch, or fabric) have appeared.
• Minor - An example of a minor event is a physical fabric object (switch port or fabric)
has changed state.
• Major - An example of a major event is one or more physical fabric objects (device port,
switch, or fabric) have disappeared.
• Critical - An example of a critical event is Brocade switches that have a failed firmware
download and the failure reason code for each respective switch.
After you select an event level, click OK.
• Execute a Custom Command - Policy Manager executes a custom command on the
management server when the condition is fulfilled. Type a command that will execute the
script in the field. Then, click OK. The software assumes you are in the
%JBOSS4_DIST%\server\appiq\remotescripts directory on the management
server when the script is executed. You can use environment variables in your script, such as
POLICY_NAME and POLICY_DESCRIPTION. POLICY_NAME. POLICY_NAME provides
the policy name and POLICY_DESCRIPTION provides the policy description. See
” Software Environment Variables for Scripting ” on page 294 for more information.
Prefix the command with “start” if the custom command triggers a user interface component,
such as a program that uses the user interface (Example: Microsoft Internet Explorer) or a
command prompt window.
For example, assume you want the custom command to open a command prompt window
and list the contents in the directory. You would prefix the command with start as shown
below:
start dir
