Monitoring Systems, Clusters, and Events - Customizing Event Collections

The Systems and Events panel contains an Events collection. This collection contains collections of different types of events.

Collections can be private or shared. Shared lists are visible to all users, and private collections are personal collections you create that only you can view. HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) ships with several predefined shared collections. For example, Events by Severity is a default public collection that ships with HP SIM. Refer to Default Public Collections - Shared Event Collections for information on default public collections.

There are two access levels for the event collections: shared and private. All of the default event collections are shared.
Every valid user can view and edit his or her own event collections.
Every valid user can view shared collections, but only the user who has full-configuration-rights can modify the content of shared collections. When the modification is done, every valid user can see the changes.
Clicking an event collection from an Events group displays the result of running the selected event collection in the workspace area of the page. Refer to Event Table View Page - Navigating the Event Table View Page for detailed information on event view page.

To customize an event collection, click Customize in the Systems and Events panel. The Customize Collections page appears. In the Show dropdown list, select Events. All available Events are displayed. Click expand menu icon

to expand all event collections in the table, or click collapse menu icon

to collapse all event collections in the table.
