Capture unmatched events


To ensure that unexpected events that might be important do not go unreported, you can configure a policy to send a message to the management server when an event does not match any rule in the policy.

To choose how unmatched events are handled

  1. Right-click the policy and select Edit.
  2. Select the Options tab.
  3. In the Unmatched events group box, choose whether unmatched events are sent to the message browser, are sent to the acknowledged messages browser, or are ignored.

    Note NOTE:
    Each policy (except for Open Message Interface and SNMP Interceptor policies) that sends unmatched events to the management server creates a message with the default values of the policy. If several policies forward unmatched messages to the management server you could receive multiple messages from a single event.
    For Open Message Interface and SNMP Interceptor policies, the behavior is somewhat different; unmatched events create a message only if they are unmatched in all policies on the node, and only one message will be sent.
