366.0. "Event to C3 but not to ENS" by DARGLE::COUGHLAN () Thu Aug 25 1994 18:24

I am running PCM 1.5 on VMS 6.1. I have created an event call AUTH which
displays UAF changes. This event is highlighted in the C3 window but I cannot
get any ENS routines to run for this event. The event does appear in the 
Eventlist window. When I select SHOW EVENTS from the C3 window I get the message

Event data unavailable
System you have selected does not exist in the active database.

I have RTFM but I am not clear on what userdata needs to be passed to the 
window action routines. I have tried different routines without success 
and different userdata. I have shutdown/reconfigured PCM a number of times.
I have created a filter called SECURITY which is shown below.

Any help would be appreciated.

Dave Coughlan.

When I select SHOW EVENTS from the C3 window I get >the message >Event data unavailable >System you have selected does not exist in the active database. We need to solve this problem first. Are you placing the mouse pointer over the nodes icon and using MB3 to pop up the menu and select "Show events" ? if the system isn't in the active database then it shouldn't have an icon. I suspect there somehting wierd with the config file. What might be best is for you to export you config database and copy it to CSC32:: so I can look at it and do some testing. Also your user-data items in all your actions look fine. Regs, Dan

	Dan, I shall leave this one to you. Give us a shout if we can help over here Cheers simon...
366.3	Config Copied	41775::COUGHLAN		`Fri Aug 26 1994 10:24`	16
	I have copied the file DAVE_CONFIG.PORT to CSC32. Yes, the option to SHOW EVENTS is selected from the system icon by pressing the MB3 mouse button. I am able to connect, monitor etc this system both from the C3 window and from the DCL prompt. This is a new installation and the event is the only event I have created. The processes I have running are Console Notify, Console Daemon and Console Ctrl 01 Regards, Dave.
366.4	UPPERCASE for VMS	DARGLE::COUGHLAN		`Mon Aug 29 1994 15:20`	13
	I changed the nodename from lowercase to uppercase and I can now see the events using the SHOW EVENTS option. I changed it back to lowercase and I could not see any events and received the error in .1. Weird!!! I am also receiving ENS messages but I receive ENS messages for all events. When I changed the security filter to Use only mail and Single shot window, I get these action routines running for all events including consoleMGR events which I have not selected for that filter. Am I missing something. Regards, Dave.
366.5	Filter problems	DARGLE::COUGHLAN		`Tue Aug 30 1994 16:22`	12
	The problem is with the Filter. If you select the event you wish to filter but do not specify the CLASS, which you leave at ALL CLASSes , you will receive ENS messages for all events. After further investigation, it appears that the filter applies to all events in a particular CLASS. I have two events in a class called security, AUTH and LOGFAIL. In my Security Filter, I have set the filter for the AUTH event only with CLASS set to Security. As both these events are in the Security scan, they both get passed to ENS and perform the relevant action routine even though I have the event selected for AUTH only. Does anyone understand what I 'm on about...Are these Features Dave
366.6		OPG::PHILIP	And through the square window...	`Tue Aug 30 1994 17:33`	59
	Dave, I think you are misunderstanding the way that filters work, let me try and explain. In the DECwindows editor, the filter box has the following buttons... Events... Systems... Subsystems... Priorities... Classes... Groups... These buttons have associated "All xxxx" buttons associated with them which when deselected make these buttons active. Now, when ENS gets an event, the following occurs.... If the new event is not one which If the new event matches ... one of the EVENTS selected OR one of the CLASSES selected AND the new event matches one of the SYSTEMS selected or one of the GROUPS selected AND the new event matches one of the SUBSYSTEMS selected AND the new event matches one of the priorities selected AND the new event is not one which previously occurred within the event interval set AND the new event is not within the interval set THEN dispatch all the actions listed BUT ONLY IF they are within their individual hours for the current day of the week. The AND and OR parts are significant, so if you have class X of which events A and B are members, then you only need to select the class X, deselect the "All events" button and DO NOT select any events in the "Events..." dialog. So, an event will match if its name matches one which is selected (in this example none are selected) OR its class matches one of the classes selected (in this case class X). Does this help?
