After synchronization, all CCURE 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 CCURE XFEvents to a single custom event.
- If the Visible check box is cleared for all XFEvents, in
Server
Admin, you will see the
warning message, "No source entity assigned to Custom Event
event". This is expected, and there is no action to take.
Procedure
-
From the Config
Tool home
page, open the Plugins task.
-
In the Plugins task, select the CCURE 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 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 event occurs, it triggers an alarm in Security Center. This check box
is selected by default for CCURE events that require acknowledgment.
To turn off the alarm notification for a CCURE event, clear the
check box.
- Raise event
- Select the Raise event check box so that when
the CCURE event occurs, it triggers a custom event in Security Center. This check box
is selected by default for CCURE events that do not require
acknowledgment. When selected, the CCURE event is mapped to a custom
event of the same name. To turn off the custom event for a CCURE
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 events to categorize them
and make them easier to find in the CCURE reports.
-
Right-click a CCURE 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.
