Configuring Event Triggers

Contents:

Platform comes ready with default configurations. However, a person with an understanding of the environment’s settings and performance standards should construct the Event Triggers to suit each unique environment. Event Triggers define the conditions under which events are captured by the monitoring system (PHP Intelligence).

To Configure Event Triggers, go to PHP Intelligence | Event Triggers or use the Shortcut from Platform | Dashboard.

Note:

If the Events Triggers tab is not populated, this may mean that the service was not available. Please refer to Services and Extensions to verify the appropriate services are running.

Users are prompted to select a node before entering the Event configuration screen as all configurations are made to a selected node. The top bars of screens display the name of the node, no name means the user is working directly on the Central Server.

For example, the image below displays the following text: Server name "karnaf-deb". This means that the user is no longer working on the Central Server but working directly on the node (in our case a node aliased karnaf-deb).

Configure Event Triggers (Partial List)

The Event Triggers screen is used for defining and modifying Event Triggers to monitor events on a specific node. The table is used to define the conditions under which an event will be captured by the monitoring system.

The possible actions on this screen are:

• Configure Event Triggers for a specific server.

• View Event Triggers currently defined for the node.

• Filter the view of events displayed in the "Define Event Triggers" table.

• Clone Events

Notes:

To configure multiple servers or a server group with the same Event Triggers:
(1) configure a selected server
(2) use the Quick Clone button to propagate settings from that server to other server nodes.
Event Types are specific events configured by administrators for monitoring a server/node. The Define Event Triggers procedure is used to define the conditions under which a server will generate an Event of a specific severity when an event (of the type) occurs. The Event Types supported in the current version of Zend Platform are described below.
