Event Viewer

The Event Viewer allows operators to view and respond to events.

An event can have a status as follows:

ACK
An operator or rule has acknowledged the event.
CLOSED
An operator or rule has fixed the problem that was reported by the event. An event adapter can also send an event with a status of CLOSED to indicate that a previously received event of the specified class should have its status changed to CLOSED; the previously received event to be closed is the most recent duplicate of the same event. The event being sent with a CLOSED status is dropped and not stored in the event repository.
custom_status
A status that has been added to the STATUS enumeration for site-specific purposes. The STATUS enumeration shipped by Tivoli is defined in the root.baroc file. To add a new status, edit this file, recompile the rule base, and then restart the event server.
OPEN
The event has been received by the event server, but an operator or rule has not acknowledged it.
RESPONSE
A rule has automatically responded to the event. This status is assigned by a rule language predicate. It is not available from the Event Viewer.
