Events Listing

The following table shows the class names and severities of all events defined for the OpenView adapter. You can use it to get a sense of how OpenView events are mapped to IBM Tivoli Enterprise Console events and to determine if you want to make any changes. The events are defined in the BAROC file. See the IBM Tivoli Enterprise Console Rule Builder’s Guide for more information about customizing the BAROC file.

Event Class Structure

Event classes are defined hierarchically, with child classes inheriting attribute value defaults from the parent. The OpenView event classes follow a simple hierarchy.

The adapter fills in the following attribute defaults. The attributes are used in event group filters.
