Writing Event Management Macros
You can write macros for Event Management to add relevant data to the action
phrases. The following actions allow macros:
■
■
Launch
■
Log
■
Message
When you right-click near the cursor in a text area, a menu of the context property
sets displays. Select one of the choices to see a list of the context properties
available. Select one of the properties to insert a bracketed macro at the cursor.
When the trigger fires, the values for the context properties that you selected are
inserted into the text in place of the macro. Write the text in such a way that you
know what the value is since the property name is not inserted along with the
value. Example: “The device labeled ${PROPlabel} has come back online. Its
Node Name is ${PROPnodename}.
Note:
Actions that are triggered by a schedule trigger do not have access to Device
and Event properties since no device is directly involved in triggering the policy.
