This topic provides a brief example showing implementation of HP
SiteScope Adapter script alerts. The new HP SiteScope user
interface (not the "HP SiteScope Classic" interface) is assumed.
See the HP SiteScope product documentation for further information
about HP SiteScope configuration.
NOTE:
This release of the HP SiteScope Adapter does not support use of
the HP SiteScope International Version setting on Solaris and Linux
managed nodes. This setting is controlled from the HP SiteScope
user interface within General Preferences. An incorrect setting can
result in garbled text within presentation of service data from
Solaris and Linux nodes.
After you have deployed the HP SiteScope Adapter to the HP
SiteScope server system, you can configure HP SiteScope monitors,
or monitor groups, to trigger execution of an HPOM script alert
based on threshold conditions configured for the monitor.
Typically you will configure two or three HPOM script alerts for
each monitor or monitor group of interest.
An "error" alert will send a message to the HPOM console
indicating the failure of an HP SiteScope monitor. Although errors
can be sent to HPOM at any severity you want, typically Major or
Critical will be specified by selecting the SendOVOMajor or
SendOVOCritical alert.
A "good" alert will send a message to the HPOM console
indicating that a monitor error condition has cleared. The
SendOVONormal alert is typically used to indicate that a monitor
has returned to a normal state. SendOVONormal provides message
acknowledgement at the HPOM console, but does not generate a new
console message.
You can also configure a "warning" alert. In many cases the
"error" alert will provide adequate information. However, if used,
the warning indicates a non-error condition on an HP SiteScope
monitor at the appropriate HPOM severity. Normally, warnings would
use the SendOVOWarning alert.
To implement an HP SiteScope script alert
Using the HP SiteScope user interface (example illustrated
below), follow the steps below to add an HP SiteScope Adapter
script alert to an individual monitor or monitor group.
In the Monitors tab, select the monitor or monitor group
for the script alert by right-clicking it.
From the drop-down menu, select New Alert.
From the New Alert pane, select Script.
In Main Settings, assign a Name to the new alert
script.
In Main Settings, Script drop-down box, select
the appropriate script for the severity of the message you want
sent to the HPOM server. Choices are:
SendOVONormal
SendOVOWarning
SendOVOMinor
SendOVOMajor
SendOVOCritical
In Main Settings, Template drop-down box, select
Default for this SiteScope Adapter script alert.
Click the down-arrow for When Settings. Make the When
and Alert Category selections appropriate for the new alert.
Click OK. In the Monitors pane you will see an
entry for the new alert. Repeat the above steps as required to add
alerts for error, warning, and good (reset) conditions.
