2 How events enter Veloopti
Events enter into your organisation though the following methods:
- A policy running on a Veloopti agent detects a breach
- A logfile policy detects a match
- A SNMP trap is received that matches
- A metric threshold is violated
- It is injected by the Veloopti agent Application Programming Interface (API)
Once the event has been forwarded to Veloopti it is processed according to the following logic.
IF event matches outage rule THEN IF outage rule = suppress THEN Suppress the event EXIT ELSE IF outage rule = auto close THEN Create the event and close EXIT END IF END IF IF event matches one or more storm rules THEN Perform the storm rule(s) END IF IF event matches an existing event with a different severity THEN Change the existing events severity to match the new one Increment the existing events duplicate count by one ELSE IF event matches an existing event with the same severity THEN Increment the existing events duplicate count by one ELSE Create the event IF the event has a notification THEN Perform the notification END IF END IF
