Additional Action Fields
In addition to the common action fields, the action selected from the Action
drop-down list box on the Modify Rule Action window determines what
additional fields appear on the Modify (action name) Rule Action window.
When the Log Filtered Message option is selected from the Action drop-down
list box, the following options appear:
ƒ OS Name. The name of the OS that should be associated with the message.
This is required when the action is linked to an SNMP Trap. When this action is
linked to a Console Message and this field is blank, the OS that originally
generated the console message is used.
ƒ Message. The actual text of the message. The message can include
parameter substitution (see Table 31), as can the Message field for Create Alert.
ƒ Status. The status number and color that this message should have in the
filtered message window. This field should not be confused with the Action
status.
When the Create Alert option is selected from the Action drop-down list box,
the following options appear:
ƒ Message. The actual text of the message. The message can include
parameter substitution.
ƒ Status. The status of the message in the alert window. This is similar to the
status option for Log Filtered Message, and should not be confused with the
Action status.
When the EXEC SCRIPT option is selected from the Action drop-down list box,
the following options appear:
ƒ Script Name. The name of the script to run.
ƒ Parameters. This allows script parameters to be listed. Parameter
substitution similar to that for Log Filtered Message and Create Alert can be
made (see Table 31).
ƒ Class. All scripts must be run on a particular class of object—Room, CPU, or
OS. This field allows specification of the class. For Console Messages, “Same as
Source” is a valid option; if selected, the source of the console message that
triggered the event is used.
ƒ Icon Name. Specifies the object on which to run the script—the Room, CPU,
or OS.
When the SysExec option is selected from the Action drop-down list box, the
following options appear:
ƒ Command. The Unix command to run.
ƒ Korn Shell. Normally, Unix commands should be run in a Korn shell.
Running commands outside a Korn shell, however, can save system resources.
When in doubt, run a command inside a Korn shell.
