Add the Alert Event Class

For the Alert eventtype, you must add an event class with its name as Alert to the same policy file beneath the already defined event classes. You must define policy under the Alert eventtype to process the received traps that reach the policy defined as alerts, so that they can appear on the Operations Console associated with the CI of the trap processed using the Item eventtype policy.

Alert is a separate event class that does not extend the previously defined Item event class. All applicable policy operations for the Alert eventtype are explained in the Policy Operations for the Alert Event Class section.
