The Default Event Attributes page enables you to indicate default settings for all events generated by the policy.
These defaults affect all new and existing rules. You can override the defaults in individual rules if needed. If a rule contains empty event attributes, the agent will use the defaults for the new event.
In the BSM Connector user interface, click in the toolbar, then click Event >
Open Message Interface. The open message interface policy editor opens.
Alternatively, double-click an existing open message interface policy to edit it.
Click Defaults to open the Default Event Attributes page.
This task describes how to configure default settings for all events generated by the policy.
Click Event Attributes to define default event attributes, such as category.
Tip: After loading the indicators from the connected OMi server, the Indicators tab shows a hierarchy of configuration item types.
To insert an indicator, drag the indicator with its state from the Indicators tab to the policy.
Click Event Correlation to set the type of duplicate event suppression and define the method used to suppress duplicate events.
Click Advanced to define default advanced attributes such as legacy HPOM attributes and agent
settings.Optional. Use the Indicators tab to add indicators to the source or target value fields. After loading the indicators from the connected OMi server, the Indicators tab shows a hierarchy of configuration item types
Optional. In the Policy Variables tab, add policy variables to
HP recommends to surround variables with quotation marks, for example "<$MSG_NODE>"
or "<$MSG_GEN_NODE>"
, at least for those variables whose values can contain space characters.

Suppression Method |
For event correlation, you can define one of three correlation methods:
|
Time Interval |
Time interval during which duplicate events are ignored. |
Suppress for no longer than |
Time interval after which duplicate events are no longer ignored. |
Counter threshold | Value that triggers an event if met or crossed. |
Reset counter threshold after |
Time interval after which the counter is reset to 0. |

OM Attributes | |
Application |
Application that caused the event to occur. Unlike the Related CI attribute, which is a direct relationship to a CI in the RTSM, the application attribute is a simple string-type attribute (for example, Oracle and OS). |
Object |
Device such as a computer, printer, or modem. Unlike the Related CI attribute, which is a direct relationship to a CI in the RTSM, the object attribute is a simple string-type attribute (for example, |
HPOM Service ID |
ID of the service associated with the event. A service ID is a unique identifier for a service and can be used in OMi to identify the node and CI associated with the event. |
Agent MSI |
The message stream interface (MSI) allows external applications to interact with the internal event flow of HP Operations Agent. The external application can be a read-write application, for example, an event processing program that can read events, modify attributes, and generate new events for retransmission to the server. The application could also read events, or send its own events. |
Divert events | If Agent MSI is enabled, diverts an event to the MSI instead of to the server when an event is requested by an external application. |
Copy events | If Agent MSI is enabled, sends the event to the server, and a copy of the event to the MSI. |
