Event
An event in iControl is any occurrence that changes the condition of a monitored element, for example:
• a change in alarm status, including updates to status text
• an acknowledgement
• a change in an alarm’s latch status
• a change in an alarm’s mode (offline, in maintenance, or online)
• the creation or deletion of a virtual alarm
• the addition or removal of a device
• execution of a script (if the script supports logging)
• a router crosspoint change
NOTE: Not all events are associated with alarms. For example, if a device driver triggers a reboot, this event might be recorded in the log database with a timestamp, device name, text message, etc., but with no associated alarm information. |
