Event types reference

There are some event types that are not available as templates, but that you can use to create rules for various monitoring events.

Network Interface State Change event

The Network Interface State Change event sends an email notification when the state of a network interface on a SPU has changed.

The new event is not available as an event template in Release 5.0.x. You must add the event by using the following command:

[nz@nzhost ~]$ nzevent add -name SpuNetIfChanged -eventType 
nwIfChanged -notifyType email -msg 'A network interface on a SPU has 
changed states.' -dst <your email here>

S-Blade CPU core events

The numCpuCoreChanged event notifies you when a SPU CPU core goes offline and the SPU is operating at a reduced performance. You can add the event by using a command similar to the following:

nzevent add -name SpuCpuCoreChangeEvent -eventType numCpuCoreChanged 
-notifyType email -msg "Num Core Changed" -dst <email_id> -bodyText 
'\n Hardware id = $hwId\n Location = $location\n Current number of 
cores = $currNumCore\n Changed number of cores = $changedNumCore'

If a SPU has a core failure, the system manager also fails over that SPU.
