Message target rules


You can use a list of message target rules to determine to which management server a message should be sent to.

Parts of a Message Target Rule

A message target rule consists of three parts:

Example of a Message Target Rule for Printing Group

A message target rule for a printing group would have the following conceptual structure:

message group = "printing"

current time fits time template 2 ............(message) --> mgr 2

current time fits time template 1 ............(message) --> mgr 1

current time fits time template 3 ............(message) --> mgr 3

In this example, HP Operations forwards all messages with the message group "printing" that meet the time conditions in template 1 to the management server 1. All messages that meet the time conditions in template 2 will be forwarded to management server 2. Time template 3 functions the same.

Example of a Message Target Rule for a Database Group

A message target rule for a database group would have the following conceptual structure:

message group = "database"

current time fits time template 1 ............(message) --> mgr 2

current time fits time template 2 ............(message) --> mgr 3

current time fits time template 3 ............(message) --> mgr 1

In this example, HP Operations forwards all messages with the message group "database" that meet the time conditions in template 1 to the management server 2. All messages that meet the time conditions in template 2 are sent to the management server 3. And so on.
