Attribute Name

Contents

 

 

acl

The list of authorization roles that enables an administrator to

 

modify the event.

 

 

adapter_host

The host on which the adapter is running.

 

 

administrator

The administrator who acknowledged or closed the event.

 

 

cause_date_

The cause_date_reception attribute is used to link an effect event to

reception

its cause event. This value is set to the value of the date_reception

 

attribute of the cause event.

 

 

cause_event_ handle

The cause_event_handle attribute is used to link an effect event to

 

its cause event. This value is set to the value of the event_handle

 

attribute of the cause event.

 

 

credibility

Indicates how the event was sent from the adapter. The value is 1 if

 

an event was sent using a communications channel provided by

 

Tivoli Management Framework services, as is the case for a TME

 

adapter. The value is zero (0) if an event was sent from a non-TME

 

adapter.

 

 

date

The date and time the event was generated.

 

 

date_reception

A time stamp indicating the time the event server received the

 

event. It is an integer representing the number of seconds since the

 

epoch, which is January 1, 1970. This value is also used as a

 

component to uniquely identify an event. An event is uniquely

 

identified by a combination of the values for the date_reception,

 

event_handle, and server_handle attributes.

 

 

duration

For closed events, the age (in seconds) of the event from when it

 

was received by the event server until it was closed. For all

 

non-closed events, the value is zero (0).

 

Note: If an event was closed by calling the set_event_status

 

predicate from within a rule, this attribute is not modified to give

 

the age. The value remains at zero (0).

 

 

event_handle

A number used to reference the event. An event is uniquely

 

identified by a combination of the values of the date_reception,

 

event_handle, and server_handle attributes. Events received within

 

the same second are assigned an incremental number for this

 

attribute starting at 1 and incremented by 1.

 

 

hostname

The name of the system on which the event occurred.

 

 

msg

A text summary of the event.

 

 

msg_catalog

For future support of internationalized event messages; not

 

currently implemented.

 

 

msg_index

The message ID used to obtain the internationalized message.

 

 

num_actions

The number of actions (tasks or programs) currently being tracked

 

by the event server for this event.

 

 

origin

The protocol address or host name of the source system.

 

 

repeat_count

A counter for keeping track of the number of times a duplicate type

 

of event has been received.

 

 

server_handle

A number identifying the event server that received this event. An

 

event is uniquely identified by a combination of the values for the

 

date_reception, event_handle, and server_handle attributes.
