Creating Custom Run-Time Events
You must have the Manage Runtime Event Types permission. By default, the predefined CentraSite Administrator role and Operations Administrator role include this permission.
Important: To enable CentraSite to recognize custom event types, ensure that your MIB file (which is contained in your target type definition file) contains the SNMP Traps metadata and Object Identifiers for the custom events.
To create custom event types
1. In CentraSite Control, go to Operations > Events > Event Types to display the Event Types page.
The page displays all the predefined event types (Monitoring, Policy Violation, Transaction, Error, and Lifecycle) and any custom event types that have been defined.
2. To view the details of any event type, click its hyperlinked name.
The list of attributes for the event type is displayed. You can edit the attributes of custom event types but not the predefined event types.
3. To create a custom event type, click Add Event Type. In the Add/Edit Event Type page specify a name and description for the event type. Event type names can contain any character (including spaces) and are not case-sensitive.
4. In the Event Type Attribute panel, the following default attributes are displayed. These attributes are required and cannot be deleted:
Attribute | Data Type |
TimeStamp | Date |
Target | String |
Service | String |
SessionID | String |
To create additional attributes, perform the following steps:
a. Click the plus button at the bottom of the attribute list.
b. Specify a name in the Name column and a value in the Data Type column (Boolean, File, Date, Integer, or String). Attribute names can contain any character (including spaces).
c. To add another attribute, click the plus button at the bottom of the list.
d. Click Save.
