Event  Manager
The Event Manager allows you to filter and forward alarm messages and specify 
the display.
For monitoring, ServerView agents must be installed on the managed servers 
and for servers with VMware vSphere ESXi 5 ServerView ESXi 5 CIM Provider 
must be installed. If an unusual operating status occurs, the ServerView agents 
automatically send an alarm (trap) to a management station. Which 
management stations are to receive traps is defined during installation of the 
ServerView agents or ServerView ESXi 5 CIM Provider. While setting up the 
SNMP service on the management station, you define the managed servers 
from which traps are to be received.
After installing the Event Manager you must first configure the alarm display and 
alarm handling. You do this by defining alarm rules and filter rules in the Alarm 
Configuration component. Using alarm rules, you specify which alarms are to 
be forwarded from which servers to which destinations. You can also specify, via 
filter rules, which alarms from which servers are to be filtered out. For a detailed 
description of this alarm configuration see the 
.
The Alarm Monitor component displays the received alarms, depending on the 
configuration set. The Alarm Monitor offers you further functions for editing the 
alarm list as well as for additional filtering of the alarm display. You can, for 
example, specify which alarms from which servers are not to be shown in the 
alarm list. For a detailed description of the Alarm Monitor see the 
.
ServerView comes with a series of MIBs, which are integrated in the Event 
Manager. Traps from these MIBs can be received and processed in the Event 
Manager. To supplement the existing MIBs, additional third-party MIBs can be 
integrated into the Event Manager. Traps from these MIBs are also displayed in 
the Event Manager, once the MIB has been checked. 
You integrate the MIBs using the MIB Manager, which is additionally provided 
when the Event Manager is installed under Windows or Linux. For more 
information on this tool, see the
