The Event Browser enables you to customize an event's properties. Customizing event properties is another way to filter events.
You may want to override the default severity or throttling parameters of any event code for the following reasons:
to increase the severity of an event (for example, from Information to Minor) so that the event appears in the Alarm Monitor
to reduce the severity of a recurring alarm to Information so that the event does not appear in the Alarm Monitor
to set the throttling parameters to reduce the frequency at which an event is generated
Previous occurrences of the event are not affected. You can revert to the default event definition at any time by deleting the customized version of the event.
System > Event Browser
From the Event Browser
list box (the box just beneath the Event Browser title bar), change the
selection from All Filtered Events
to Only Customized Events.
The Event Browser page changes as follows:
A list of customized events appears if any have been created. If none have been created, then no events are listed.
The following new buttons appear above the event columns: New, Delete Selected, and System Throttling.
Click New to customize an event, or click an existing customized event to modify the event’s properties. The Customize Event page appears.
In the Event Code box, specify the event that you want to customize.
If you want to change the severity assigned to this event, choose a severity from the Severity Level for Event list box.
If you want to customize
the throttling rules for this event, specify the Interval
and Number values.
These values determine how often (Number) any event appears in a specified
time period (Interval).
Example
If you specify 3 as the Number and 60 as the Interval, then the specified
event (for example, 40562) can appear only three times
in the Event Browser or Windows Event Viewer
in any 60-minute time period. If the event actually occurs five times
in a 60-minute time period, the event is displayed only three times.
Click Save.
The "Only Customized Events" view of the Event Browser appears.
From the
Event Browser list box, choose All Filtered
Events.
The normal view of the Event Browser appears. Changes in event properties
begin from this point, and are not retroactive.
To return an event to its default properties, delete the customized version of the event.
