Automatic Events - spam email

[Brian Shields]

Hi All,

I've recently upgraded from SIMS 4.1 to 4.2

Since the upgrade, the Automatic Events and configs were wiped (strange in itself??)

After setting up all the configs and creating a new event, I received a heap of emails of past events. e.g. if someone unplugs an ilo port I receive emails of all events... even non ilo based...

Browsing through the forums I found that I needed to apply SIMS 4.2 SP2. Having done so, the problem still exists.

I have a single rule set up:

Where Severity is Critical or Major, where system is any, email "my.email@company.com" with no time filter set.

Can anyone suggest if perhaps this rule is not effective in reporting such events? Should I be drilling down to "if system is server, enclosure, Managed processor etc etc.

what rules have you setup where you don't experience a spam problem?

Appreciate the feedback

Brian.

I have a typo in there... That should have read "Browsing through the forums I found that I needed to apply SIMS 4.2 SP1. Having done so, the problem still exists."


Applying the SP hasn't fixed the problem

I have a similar set up, except I have a rule for each severity, i.e major and critical.

It should't make a difference but...

Ok, thanks for the replies

Upgraded to SIM SP2 - having cleared all past events, and, monitoring recent events over the past few weeks, it's safe to concluded to issue has been resolved.
