Configure management events

Management events are those events that are generated from the NNMi Causal Engine. You can configure how you want these events to be displayed in the incident views provided by NNMi. The types of things you configure include its name, category, and the format of its message.

To configure a management event:

1. Navigate to the Management Events Configuration form.

   1. From the workspace navigation panel, select the  Configuration workspace.
   2. Expand the Incidents folder.
   3. Select Management Event Configurations.

2. Do one of the following:

   1. To create a management event configuration, click the  New icon, and continue.
   2. To edit a management event configuration, double-click the row representing the configuration you want to edit, and continue.
   3. To delete a management event configuration, select a row, and click the  Delete icon.
3. In the Management Event Form, provide the required configuration information.
4. Click  Save and Close to save your changes and return to the Incident Configuration form.

The next time that a management event of this type arrives into the database, NNMi creates an associated incident to display in the appropriate console incident views.
