1440.0. "Keep highest severity color then next one" by ULYSSE::ROSIER (Alain Rosier - European Network Services) Wed Dec 11 1996 03:58

    With option in C3 events characteristics "Keep Highest priority untill
    clear",
    as soon as the Highest priority has been clear, the icon color does not
    reset
    to match the next highest event still outstanding.
    
    My customer requires to keep the icon color matching the highest
    severity color
    and when a clear occurs, keep the next highest and so on.
    
    How can we satisfy this requirement ?
    
    Cheers

1440.1sounds like an new feature?CRLRFR::BLUNTWed Dec 11 1996 09:2323
    
    Probably I'm speaking out-of-turn, but this sounds like a code change. 
    From my understanding, C3 console monitor events per system are not
    handled on an individual basis.  When you view events for a particular
    system, the severity level is cleared with a single "dismiss" box. 
    Events are handled differently in the ENS window, and they CAN be
    handled individually.  There doesn't appear to be a setting for either
    ENS or at the managed system icons where it can be configured to
    remember the next most severe event and set the color to that level.
    
    Our managers were initially not aware that they needed to check all
    events when they triggered.  They were ignoring icon changes totally
    when the color was blue or green.  We set the C3 events to "Keep
    highest priority," and things improved somewhat.  We had to educate our
    folks that THEY were responsible for checking ALL events that they were not
    familiar with, as the default in C3 is to clear the icon color totally
    when you dismiss the event window.  We're still trying to pass along
    the required education to get them to understand the use of the ENS
    window.
    
    I will admit, it sounds like a useful option...
