[Release 5.1 and later]Event group profile settings

Use this page to configure the runtime properties of an event group profile. An event group is a logical collection of events, which is determined by event selector expressions. When querying events from the event server, an event consumer specifies an event group to retrieve only the events in that group.

A default event group profile is provided that defines an event group that contains all events. You can modify this event group, and you can create event groups that are appropriate for your application.

The logical grouping of events is determined by XPath expressions called event selector strings. For example, the following event selector string groups all events with a severity of 50.

CommonBaseEvent[@severity = 50]

Events can match more than one event group.

You can associate JMS queues and a JMS topic with each event group. If the event server distribution service is enabled and an event matches an event group, the event is distributed to any topic or queues configured for that particular event group.

To view this administrative console page, click Resources > Common Event Infrastructure Provider > Event Group Profile List > event_group_profile_list > Event Group Profiles > event_group_profile.

Configuration tab

Event Group Name
Specifies a unique, descriptive name for the event group. Event consumers use this name when specifying the event group name on a query.

If multiple event group profiles are configured with the same name, the event server uses the last event group profile that is listed in the administrative console and replaces previous event group profiles with the same name.

Data type String
Event Selector String
Specifies the event selector that defines the events you want to include in the event group. An event selector is a regular expression that defines a set of events based on their property data. The event selector must be a valid XPath expression.
Data type String
Topic JNDI Name
Specifies the JNDI name of the JMS topic that you want to associate with this event group profile.

If you specify this property, you must complete the Topic Connection Factory JNDI Name field. To create the JMS resource, navigate to the appropriate JMS provider in the administrative console and configure the required topic.

Data type String
Topic Connection Factory JNDI Name
Specifies the JNDI name of the JMS topic connection factory that you want to associate with this event group profile.

If you specify this property, you must complete the Topic JNDI Name field. To create the JMS resource, navigate to the appropriate JMS provider in the administrative console and configure the required topic connection factory.
