Event Handling on MS Clustered Servers

[Rick Loevenstein]

I am struggling with event handling on our Microsoft clustered file servers. I want to receive notifications of hardware events and server up/down events, but I do not want to receive cluster monitor events. In the event handling task, I am selecting events where the severity is critical or major or minor or normal AND where the Event Category IS NOT cluster monitor. After saving the event handling task I continue to be flooded with trivial cluster monitor messages. I discovered that the event handling event selection had changed from IS NOT cluster monitor to IS cluster monitor. I changed it to IS NOT and saved it. No matter what I do, it changes the IS NOT to IS. Any idea how I can filter out the cluster monitor events?

Rick, create a event handling task with the following criteria..

Events where severity is any. ( in Step 2 of 6)
System Name is or . (in Step 3 of 6)

This should solve the problem.
