22.1.2.1 Event Handlers List

The Event Handlers section lists all event handlers defined on the system and enables you to create Event Handlers.

Figure 22.1 Event Handlers section

Event Handlers section contains the following controls:

Table 22.1 Event Handlers Controls

Name	Description
Create Event Handler	Opens the Create Event Handler dialog. For more information, see Section 22.2, “Creating Event Handlers”.
Show * Entries	Select the maximum number of event handlers to display. This value is saved by default.
Handler Name	Lists the names of the event handlers.
State	Lists the state of the event handler. Possible states are: Active: the event handler is running. Suspended: the event handler is not running.
Groups	Lists the groups assigned to the event handler.
Assets	Lists the assets assigned to the event handler.
Advisors	Lists the Advisors assigned to the event handler.
Statuses	Lists the statuses assigned to the event handler.
Actions	Lists the SMTP or SNMP actions assigned to the event handler.
Search	Enables you to search for specific event handlers.

Default Auto-close Policy

The Default Auto-close Policy closes events after they change status. If a threshold is defined for an advisor, and the threshold is breached, an event is displayed in the Events page. If it changes status to a lower priority status, or to a status without a defined threshold, the default auto-close policy closes the event.

Note

The Default Auto-close Policy event handler is the only event handler created by default.

This policy does not apply to all Advisors. Some Advisors, such as MySQL Server Has Been Restarted, are too important to auto-close.

Important

It is not possible to edit this Event Handler, but it is possible to override it using the Auto-Close Events option in the Create Event Handler dialog.
