Configuring automatic event handling
Automatic event handling enables HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) to perform an action when a specific
occurs. The First Time Wizard lets you define one task, based on an existing event collection, that will
send an e-mail notification when an event matching the event collection attributes occurs. For example, you
can configure HP SIM to send an e-mail to the system administrator whenever a failed login event occurs.
Perform the following procedure to define a task in the First Time Wizard. The name of this Automatic Event
task is the System Event Handler task.
NOTE:
If this task is already defined, the task information is displayed but there are no editing capabilities
for this task in the First Time Wizard. To edit the System Event Handler task, you must select
Options
→Events→Automatic Event Handling→Manage Tasks.
Additional options for defning event handling tasks are available when you select
Options
→Events→Automatic Event Handling. You can configure HP SIM to send a page, run a custom
tool, assign an event, forward an event as an SNMP trap, write the event to the system log, or clear an
event. See
