6.1 How Events Are Raised

When you create a Knowledge Script job, the parameters you set on the Values tab in the Properties window indicate what you want the job to do. If you want the job to send an alert or notify you in some way when a particular condition exists, set the Event parameter to (yes). As a Knowledge Script job runs, it checks whether the condition you defined exists – for example, whether a threshold value has been exceeded or a particular process is down.

If a Knowledge Script detects a problem and the Event parameter is set to y, the job triggers an event, which is:

  • Logged in the QDB.

  • In most cases, displayed in the form of an event alert in an Events view of the Control Center console.

In this state, AppManager considers the event Open and requiring your attention.
