Automation Using Situations alert when thresholds are exceeded – Each condition compares a user-specified value against attribute data collected from managed systems Each situation may examine the values of one or more attributes If all conditions are met, the situation evaluates to true and an alert indicator icon appears on the TEP to let you know that a problem exists When you create a situation, you can also specify recommended actions (Expert Advice) and/or automated responses to take place when the situation becomes true (Take Action) Each management agent comes with a set of pre-defined situations that start running as soon as the management agent is connected 23 © 2008 IBM Corporation
