Configuring Event Handlers

Event handlers are defined by events, condition, priority, and actions. When an event is received, the corresponding event type and condition of the handler are evaluated based on the priority. When a condition is met, the corresponding actions are performed according to the event attributes. The action can update or add event attributes to the events for subsequent processing of the same event. An action invokes a function provided by a processor and must provide the parameters required by that function. After an event handler has completed its processing, event processing continues with the next applicable event handler.

To configure event handlers:

  1. In the VTA Configuration Manager navigation pane, select Edit.
  2. Select Current Event Handlers.

    A list of configured event handlers appears. For example:

You can create, delete, or modify event handlers.

  • To add an event handler, enter a name for the action in the New Event Handler box, and click Create.
  • To delete an event handler, click Delete next to the event handler that you want to delete.
  • To modify an event handler, select the event handler that you want to modify.

If you create or modify an event handler, the event handler configuration screen appears. For example:
