I have a MOM 2000 installation I am in the process of replacing with OM7. In MOM 2000 you could create Event Collection rules AND Event Consolidation rules for those types of events you knew (or learned) would overwhelm the database. I cannot find an event consolidation rule within OM7. I also looked for consolidation options within the event collection rule, but there are none. How does one create a rule in OM7 that does consolidation?
I see there are consolidation options within the Repeated Event Unit monitor, but I am not trying to monitor the health of anything. I only need to collect the events for possible review at a later time. This is also confusing, because in the past you needed to collect an event before you could create any rules that would be triggered by that event, so I would expect to see consolidation options on the collection rule, not the monitor.
If this is possible, I would also like to know what SQL table/view/column the consolidation is represented in, as I do some custom reporting that must include the true repeat count of such events. For example, in MOM2000 the view EventView had a column named IsConsolidated, and a table named EventConsolidated.
Thanks
How do you accomplish Event Consolidation
