Managing OS agent events

You can configure the OS agent to manage events.

Event filtering and summarization
Use the event filtering and summarization options that you set in the configuration (.conf) file to control how duplicate events are handled by the OS agent.
Detecting and filtering duplicate events
You can configure the OS agent to handle duplicate events.
Summary interval
The duplication detection procedure operates over a time period that is known as the Summary Interval.
Filtering events
If event filtering is running, the EventFloodThreshold setting in the (.conf) file informs the agent when to send an event.
Summarization attributes
The Event Type and Occurrence Count attributes are used to help summarize events.
Windows Event Log
The OS agent uses the .conf file to monitor events from the Windows Event Log.

The Tivoli® Event Integration Facility (EIF) interface is used to forward situation events to Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus, Tivoli Enterprise Console®, or Operations Analytics - Log Analysis.
