To Register an Alarm Action

Although alarms are defined, you need to tell Sun Management Center what to do when the alarm condition is met. For example, you might want to have the software send email notification to appropriate system administrators.

You need to perform this procedure on the managed object (host) that you are monitoring, not on system running the Sun Management Center server layer.

1. In the Attribute Editor, click the Actions tab.

   The Attribute Editor Actions window is displayed.

2. Click the Actions button next to the action to be registered.

   The Action Selection dialog box is displayed.

3. Select the type of alarm action that you want to register.

   • To send an email, follow these steps:

     1. Select the Email button. Then, type the user name or alias to which to send the message.

        ---

        Tip –

        To send to more than one user name, separate the user names with a space.

        ---

     2. Type the message text.

   • To perform an action other than sending an email, follow these steps:

     1. Define a script that specifies the action. For more information, see To Define an Alarm Action Script.

     2. Select the Other button.

     3. Choose a script to run from the list of available scripts.

     4. Type any parameters that the script needs into the Arguments field.

   • To clear the alarm, select Clear.

4. To set the action as you defined and close the Action Selection window, click the OK button.

5. Click the OK button to accept the entries and close the Alarm Action dialog box.

   The entry is displayed in the corresponding Action field of the Actions dialog box.
