HP sim associate events for clearing

[Frederic Crespo]

Hi,

I actually have the same need. Events don't need to be cleared both automatically they need to be cleared only if the other one happens and is linked.

Example:
A critical event occurs for a NIC on a specific piece of hardware.
Two hours later a positive event happens regarding the same NIC on the same Hardware. This should clear the preceding event and only that one.
The positive event should not be cleared all evetns of the same category but regarding another HW should not be cleared evene if only the NIC is different.

As far as I've checked so far this can not be done in HP SIM.

I've tried to clear events with SQL queries accessing the DB directly but it does not work as I hoped. The server needs to restart before it is actually visible from the console???

As anyone any idea on how to achieve this?

Event correlation is not a feature of HP SIM. Opening the database and writing to it is not only not supported but it is the quickest way to make an HP SIM instance non-functioning.

Thanks for this straightforward answer.
