MONITORING

Modifying Basic settings for an event
You can edit an event's Basic settings, but be cautious when doing so. Editing Basic settings other than Severity and Suppression Time can cause unexpected behavior. It is expected that the only time you would need to modify a Basic value other than Severity and Suppression would be when you have third-party server tasks running and you want events raised by those tasks to display correctly in DDM.NSF.

Note The Server and Addin Task Event document is also called a Message document.

1. From the IBM® Lotus® Domino™ Administrator, open the database, DDM.NSF.

2. From an Event Report that references the Server and Addin Task Event document of interest, click the document link to open that Message document.

3. Click Edit Document.

4. To edit Basic settings, click Edit Basic Settings, and then complete as many of these fields as necessary:
FieldAction
Original TextModify the original event text if necessary.
Addin nameName of the Addin program if one exists. Do not modify this field.
ValueThe internal hexadecimal value for the event text. Do not modify this field.
Event typeChoose the event type from the list.
Event subtypeChoose the corresponding event subtype.
Old Event typeThe event type assigned to the corresponding pre-Domino 7 event.
Event severitySpecify the severity of the event.
Suppression timeUse this field to limit the number of times an event handler runs. After an event occurs and the event handler runs, if the event occurs again, the event handler cannot run until after the suppression time expires. An event handler defines the action that Domino takes when a specific event occurs.
Event correlationDomino can correlate multiple events generated by one problem and report those events as one error. Use this field to specify the type of event correlation to enable, or to specify that no correlation is to be enabled.

Choose one:

  • No correlation -- Do not enable event correlation for this event.
  • Server wide correlation -- Correlate this event on each server in the domain.
  • Database wide correlation -- Correlate this event for each database replica in which it occurs across the domain.
  • Server and database wide correlation -- Correlate this event across all servers for databases in which the event occurs..
  • Target UNID -- Correlate this event for events with the same UNID.
5. Click Save and Close.
