Configuring the visual appearance of the event list
Conversions, colors, column visuals, and classes determine how
alert information is displayed in the event list.
About this task
Creating and editing conversions
Conversions are associated with the columns in the ObjectServer
alerts.status table, and they map integer values for the columns to
strings. The conversions that are configured in the Netcool/OMNIbus Administrator
are used in the event list, to translate integer values into strings,
for readability.
Creating and editing event severity colors for Windows event lists
In event lists, different colors are used to depict the
different degrees of event severities. You can view, create, and modify
the severity colors used in Windows event
lists. You can select different colors for acknowledged and unacknowledged
alerts.
Creating and editing column visuals
The visual appearance of event lists is defined by the
settings of the column visuals. For each column in the event list,
you can set the title text, default and maximum widths, and title
and data justification.
Creating and editing classes
Events in the ObjectServer have a class that is assigned
by the probe. Each class can be associated with an event list tool
menu that contains useful tools for events of that class.
