Integrating Applications into ITO

Integrating Applications into ITO

* OA = Operator Action; AA= Automatic Action

The Application Event Log template,

NT SMS

, must be assigned to

any SMS Site Server of the SMS hierarchy, but cannot be assigned to
the

logon

distribution

, or

helper

servers because duplicate

reprocessing of problems will result. These servers are also logged
into the NT application event log of the Site Server. The Application
Event Log template must be on a Site Server— even if the site is
distributed.

2. Customize the conditions for the templates.

There are two templates that must be considered when customizing
the template conditions for the SMS Site Server: the SMS-specific
application event log template, and the default NT application event
log template.

suppress unmatched

condition is the first condition of the SMS

application event log template. This condition suppresses all NT
application event log entries that are not SMS-related, thus ensuring
that the entire set of 586 match conditions is not checked
unnecessarily for non-SMS log entries.

The default NT Logfile encapsulator template,

dflt_ApplEvLog

, has

forward unmatched

flag set by default. This means that if both

templates are installed on an SMS Site Server, two messages will be
generated for each SMS-related event log entry: one by the SMS
template and one by the default NT Logfile template. To avoid this
problem, add one additional

suppress matched

condition at the

beginning of the default NT Logfile template that suppresses
SMS-related messages. This condition needs to match the string SMS
in the application field of the message.

This additional condition is needed only if you assign both templates
to the same node and if the you keep the

forward unmatched

condition set in the default template.
