Configure a Child Incident for a Causal Rule

The Child Incident tab enables you to specify which Child Incidents should be considered for correlation according to the Causal Rule you are configuring.

For information about each Causal Rules tab: See Also

For information about each Child Incident tab: See Also

To configure a Child Incident for a Causal Rule:

Navigate to the Custom Correlation Configuration form:
1. From the workspace navigation pane, select the Configuration workspace.
2. Expand the Incidents folder.
3. Select Custom Correlation Configuration.
Navigate to the Causal Rules tab.
From the Causal Rules table toolbar, do one of the following:
- To create a Causal Rule, click the New icon, and continue.
- To edit a Causal Rule, click the Open icon in the row representing the Causal Rule you want to edit, and continue.
- To delete a Causal Rule, click the Delete icon.
Create your Causal Rule. (See Configure a Causal Rule.)
Create your Child Incident Configuration (see table).
Optional. Configure a Child Incident Filter. (See Configure a Child Incident Filter for a Causal Rule.)
Optional. Configure a Source Object Filter. (See Configure a Source Object Filter for a Causal Rule.)
Optional. Configure a Source Node Filter. (See Configure a Source Node Filter for a Causal Rule.)

Causal Rule Basic Attributes
Attribute	Description
Name	Type a maximum of 64 characters. Alpha-numeric, spaces, and special characters (~ ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) _+ -) are permitted. The name is used to identify the Child Incident Configuration and must be unique within each Causal Rule. Use a name that will help you to remember the purpose of the Child Incident Configuration.
Child Incident	Specifies the incident configuration that should be used as the Child Incident when evaluating the Causal Rule. To specify a Child Incident configuration: Click the Lookup icon, and do one of the following: To specify a Child Incident without making any changes to the incident configuration, select Quick Find . In the Quick Find dialog, select the Incident of interest. To create a Child Incident, select one of the following: New Management Event Configuration New Remote NNM Event Configuration New SNMP Trap Configuration To modify a Child Incident, select Open. Optional. To create or modify a Child Incident, enter or modify the attribute values for the selected Incident configuration. See Configure Incidents for more information about the Incident Configuration form. Click Save and Close to save your changes and return to the previous form.
Forward Child Custom Incident Attributes	Enter a comma-delimited list of the Custom Incident Attributes you want to appear with the generated Parent Incident. NNMi forwards these values from the Child Incidents that you configure for the Causal Rule.
Optional Child Incident	If enabled, the NNMi Causal Engine generates the Parent Incident whether this Child Incident occurs. If disabled, the NNMi Causal Engine only generates the Parent Incident if this Child Incident occurs.
Use Child Incident's Source Object for Parent	If enabled, indicates you want NNMi to use the Source Object of the Child Incident as the Source Object for the Parent Incident. Note If you enable this option, NNMi ignores any Source Object Filter you configured. If disabled, indicates you want NNMi to use the Source Object Filter configuration to determine the Parent Incident's Source Node. See Configure a Source Object Filter for a Causal Rule for more information. If you do not specify the Source Object to use for the Parent Incident, NNMi uses the Source Object of the first Child Incident that occurs.
Use Child Incident's Source Node for Parent	If enabled, indicates you want NNMi to use the Source Node of the Child Incident as the Source Node for the Parent Incident. Note If you enable this option, NNMi ignores any Source Node Filter you configured. If disabled, indicates you want NNMi to use the Source Node Filter configuration to determine the Parent Incident's Source Node. See Configure a Source Node Filter for a Causal Rule for more information. If you do not specify the Source Node to use for the Parent Incident, NNMi uses the Source Node of the first Child Incident that occurs.
