346.0. "Activating Actions with in Groups" by 42708::ELLISM (Are you all sitting too comfybold square on your botty? - Then we'll begin) Fri Aug 12 1994 09:54

I would like Console Manager to ignore similar events, with in a given group, for a 
specified time.

Example,

I would like to say :-

Event 'fred', take action 'WINDOW', ignore any other occurences of this event that comes
in from the same group for the next 20 seconds.

I know we can do that on a System basis.

This would mean that, with clusters, we would only get one occurrence of a message
instead of how many times there are nodes within the cluster (If you defined clusters
in groups).

This would be useful in other areas as well, as you might want a different action to 
happen for a different group of systems than everything else. I believe that at the
moment you would have to define this for every system.

Martin,
       create your filter to filter on the required GRoup and then use
the Event Interval Timer to set the filter inactive for the required event for
20 seconds.

Note: Use the Event Interval NOT the filter interval as this will ignore ALL
events for 20 seconds.

Cheers Simon....

Martin,

  As an alternative to Simon's suggestion, you could
  always read the PCM Users Guide, everything you
  need to know can be found in the ENS section.

Cheers,
Phil

    Phil,
    
    oooh sarcasm, I did read it, but must have missed that one. That's all. 
    
    I could point out that there was once someone who used to get annoyed
    with engineering because that never listened to what we told them
    customers want. This same person said "It's not going to happen whilst
    I have anything to do with console manager....."
    
    Hmm, who was that?
    
    :-)

Huh? Whats this got to do with reading the manuals like you are supposed
to before asking dumb questions in public forums like this, especially
when the question is answered in the documentation.

To answer your cheap attack on me and the PCM team, we do listen to what
our customers are saying, that doesnt mean we have to implement everything
they want, especially if they ask for something which goes against the
design principles of the product.

End of discussion.

Cheers,
Phil
