36.3 Additional Trap Configuration Features

ZENworks Server Management Trap Configuration also includes the following features:

36.3.1 Filtering the Traps

You can display the Traps in the table based on filter conditions.

You set up a filter by selecting criteria from four drop-down lists. You can set up simple filters that contains only one line, or complex filters consisting of multiple lines or groups. If you set up a filter using more than one line, you must also specify the logical relationship between the lines.

To set up a filter:

  1. In ConsoleOne, right-click the object under a Site Server object, then click Actions, then click Trap Configuration.

  2. In Trap Configuration page, click Filters, then click the Filter menu.

  3. In the first drop-down list, select the column by which you want to filter the Traps.

  4. Select an operator from the second drop-down list.

    The operator defines the constraint value set for the column. You can specify equal to, not equal to, less than, greater than, greater than or equal to, less than or equal to, contains, or start with.

  5. Select a value from the third drop-down list.

    The list of available values depends on the value you have selected in first drop-down list. For example, if you have selected Severity in the first drop-down list, the values in the third drop-down list are Critical, Major, Minor, Informational, and Unknown. If you have selected Enable in the first drop-down list, the available values are Enabled and Disabled.

  6. Select a value from the fourth drop-down list to specify how this filter statement relates to other statements you plan to define.

    • If this is the only filter statement or if it is the last statement in a group, select End.

    • If you want to add a line below the current filter statement, select New Row. You must define the logical relationship between the previous line and the new line. The Traps are displayed based on the logical condition you have specified. Select And to satisfy both the filter conditions. Select Or to satisfy any one of the filter conditions.

    • If you want to add one or more lines that are unrelated to the preceding lines, select New Group. An additional drop-down list separates the new line from the preceding lines. Select a value from this drop-down list to indicate the relationship between the filter statements. Select And if you want both the filter statements to be satisfied. Select Or if you want only one of the filter statements in one of the groups to be satisfied. Select End from the fourth drop-down list when you add a new group.

  7. Click OK.

    The Trap configuration list displays only those entries that meet the filter criteria.

    To clear the list and go back to the default view, click Clear Filter under Filters .

36.3.2 Sorting the Traps

You can modify the order in which the Traps are displayed in the Trap Configuration by sorting the Traps.
