Event Actions
After you have specified conditions and thresholds to filter your rule data, you can select one or more actions to manage the storage and notification of fault activity. An action is the behavior you want to occur (for example, process event or delete event) if the condition is true.

Action Descriptions
The following list describes the Actions available for Fault Analytics rules. The actions available for a rule are different based on the event handler you select.
-
Process Event — The event handler immediately processes the event and terminates any further rule processing.
-
Delete Event — Deletes the event for the event handler with no further processing. If a Send E-mail or Send SNMP action is used, the Delete Event behaves as a Process Event by delivering the message until the delete event action is taken.
-
Send E-mail — Sends an e-mail to the specified distribution list and uses the specified text template. Available only with the e-mail rules configuration option.
-
Assign Value to Field — When you select this action, a drop-down list of fields becomes available for selection. You may assign a value to the selected field.
-
Create Temporary Field — Creates a new temporary field with the specified name and assigns a value.
