Edit general information for an event tag

General information for an event tag includes information about the tag definition. Event detectors and actions are defined separately and then associated with an event tag.

To edit general information for an event tag

1. In the console tree, expand a server group and then expand a server.

2. Expand Configuration Editor, expand System Configuration, and then expand Tag Configuration.

3. Click Event Tags.

4. In the details pane, double-click the event tag to edit. The Properties dialog box appears.

5. Click the General property tab.

   

6. In the Description box, type a description of the tag.

7. Click Enabled to allow the detector and action for this event tag to run.

8. Click Logged to specify whether or not to log events for this tag into the EventHistory table. Event logging can only be turned off if no associated actions are configured.

9. In the Priority list, select a priority level for the action, either critical or normal. The priority level determines the sorting queue to which the action will be sent. The critical queue is used for highly important events. If a system overload condition occurs, events that are given a critical priority will always be processed first. Events that are given a normal priority will be processed after any critical events and may possibly be dropped (that is, not performed) on an overloaded system. For more information, see Event action priorities.

10. Click OK.
