After synchronization, all XFEvents are listed in the plugin role's Alarms
and events page. You can choose how these XFEvents are handled in Security
Center; including, making them available as entities in the Area view,
assigning them to alarm entities and custom events, or silencing them.
What you should know
- You can assign multiple XFEvents to a single custom event.
- If the Visible check box is cleared for all XFEvents, in
Server Admin, the
warning message, "No source entity assigned to Custom Event
event" is displayed. This is expected, and there is no action to take.
Procedure
-
From the Config Tool homepage, open the Plugins task.
-
In the Plugins task, select the CCURE 9000 plugin role from the entity browser, and then click the Alarms and
events tab.
The XFEvent name column lists the events
defined in CCURE 9000, which were imported when the plugin
was synchronized.
-
If the XFEvent name column is empty or events are
missing, manually synchronize events.
-
For each XFEvent, choose how it will be handled in Security Center:
Tip: To change many events simultaneously: select multiple events
using SHIFT+click or CTRL+click, click the
Edit event
properties (
), make your
selections in the
Properties dialog box, and then click
OK.
- Visible
- When the Visible check box is selected, the
CCURE 9000 event is shown as an entity in the
Area view and in the entity
browsers.
- Trigger alarm
- Select the Trigger alarm check box so that
when the CCURE 9000 event occurs, it triggers an
alarm in Security Center. This check box is selected by default for
CCURE 9000 events that require acknowledgment.
To turn off the alarm notification for a CCURE 9000 event, clear the check box.
- Raise event
- Select the Raise event check box so that when
the CCURE 9000 event occurs, it triggers a custom
event in Security Center. This check box is selected by default for
CCURE 9000 events that do not require
acknowledgment. When selected, the CCURE 9000
event is mapped to a custom event of the same name. To turn off the
custom event for a CCURE 9000 event, clear the
check box.
-
(Optional) If you selected Raise event, you can change
the custom event assigned:
-
Double-click the custom event name.
-
Choose a different event, then click OK.
Tip: If you want to revert to the original custom event,
right-click the event, and select Reset default custom
event.
-
(Optional) Assign one or more keywords to the CCURE 9000
events to categorize them and make them easier to find in the CCURE 9000 reports.
-
Right-click a CCURE 9000 event and click
Edit XFEvent properties.
-
In the Tags field, type a keyword up to 256
characters long, then click Add ().
-
Click Apply.
Results
Notice under the plugin role, the Events node in the
entity browser pane shows all the XFEvents that were made visible.
