Monitoring events on the master

Up to now, the event data is only available locally on the agent. However, to be able to print reports on this topic and to view them in the console together with other data, these events must be specifically uploaded to the master and its database. This is done via an operational rule:

1. Go to the Operational Rules top node in the left window pane.
2. Click Create Operational Rule .
    The Properties dialog box appears.
3. Enter Upload Power Management Events into the Name field and then click OK.
    The new operational rule is added to the list of members in the right pane. Double-click it.
4. To configure all the steps go to the Steps tab.
5. Click Add Step to add the first step.
    The Select a Step pop-up menu appears. It displays the list of available steps in its Available Steps box.
6. Double-click the Event Log Manager folder.
7. Select the step Upload Events and click Add .
    The Properties dialog box appears.
8. From the Model Name drop-down list select the Power Management value and leave all other boxes as they are.
9. Click OK to confirm the parameters and OK again to confirm the new step.
    The operational rule is now configured and must be assigned to the target, that is, all devices in our test environment.
10. Go to the Assigned Objects > Assigned Group node in the left window pane under your newly created operational rule.
11. Select Assign Device Group .
     A confirmation window appears. In this window, you can define if the device assignment will be activated according to the default schedule defined in the User Preferences.
12. Click Yes , to activate the operational rule automatically.
     The Assign to Device Group pop-up menu appears.
13. Select the group All Devices from the list.
     The group will be added to the table in the right pane with a status of Activated.

14. Select the subnode All Devices and follow the execution of the operational rule for the group members.

    Information

    After its status is Executed all data are uploaded.

15. To verify this, go to the Alerts and Events node of the All Devices group.

    Information

    This node displays the list of all events registered by the event log models for the selected device group.

16. In the right pane from the Model Name drop-down list, select Power Management.
17. In the right pane from the Model Name drop-down list, select Power Management. Click Find.
     The following table displays all events that were uploaded and are continued to be uploaded.
