Table 1. Columns in the Events view.
Field name Description
Name The name of the event. For events generated as a result of evaluating an analysis or status definition, the event name is the same as the definition name. For events generated automatically by CICSPlex SM, the name is one of the following:
  • !!SAMOPS - System unavailable
  • !!SAMSDM - System dump
  • !!SAMTDM - Transaction dump
  • !!SAMSOS - Short-on-storage
  • !!SAMMAX - Maximum tasks
  • !!SAMSTL - System stall
Target The name of the CICS system or CICS system group that is the target of the event. The target will be a CICS system group only for events whose type is APM.
Severity The severity associated with the event:
  • VHS - Very high severe
  • HS - High severe
  • HW - High warning
  • LW - Low warning
  • LS - Low severe
  • VLS - Very low severe
For events generated as a result of evaluating an analysis definition, the severity is assigned as part of the associated evaluation definition. For events generated automatically, the severity is assigned by CICSPlex SM.
Priority The priority of the event, as specified in the action definition associated with the analysis or status definition that generated the event. The priority of an event can range from 1 to 255, with 255 being the highest priority.
Type The type of analysis that generated the event:
  • APM - Analysis point monitoring
  • MRM - MAS resource monitoring
  • SAM - System availability monitoring
Detail For events generated by analysis definitions, indicates whether detailed information about the event is available. The detailed information includes the evaluation definitions that make up the analysis definition. A value of NO means the event was generated automatically by CICSPlex SM, rather than by an analysis definition.
User Data Associated user data for the event.
Resource Type The type of resource for which the event was generated.
Resource Name The specific resource, such as a program or file, that caused the event to be generated.
