I have a customer who would like to customize her events
with special colors that change the C3 icon when they occur.
For example, lets say disk space is low, they want to
have the icon change to a color not related to severity colors.
Is this possible?

Icon color is tied to priority so an icon can be one of six colors
as there are 6 priorities. There is no way to specify the icon color
for a specific event.

That was my diagnosis. But they want to change it, even it it involved
programming on their end, to create custom colors.

Sandra, what they should be doing is using the multi-line eventlist action routine. That should classify events into storage, hardware, performance, network, security, administration, etc, and have an action routine for all of those catageories. For example, copy the multi-line action routine to a new one called Storage. When a Storage event occurs it should then be sent to the people who need to know in the storage window. The icon for the storage window will the change colour based on the severity of the problem. This would/could indicate a serious problem such as disk running low. PCM is not designed to use the C3 as the main alerting mechanism, the multi- line event window is supposed to be the main mechanism. The C3 takes up too much screen real estate, where you can have many icons changing colour for the areas you need to know about. The other advantage of classifying events and using seperate action routines is that only the people who need to know about storage problems find out. E.g. the network manager usually doesn't give a toss that disk so&so is running out of space. Hope that helps Shaun | |||||
