2.1 Overview

Event properties
Property Description
ID A GUID that distinguishes all of the messages. Primarily used to tell similar events apart.
Severity Standard categorisation based on the significance of an event:
  • Information - The event does not require any immediate action and does not represent an exception.
  • Warning - The event is generated when an application is approaching a threshold. Warnings are intended to notify you in order for you to take the necessary actions to prevent an exception occurring.
  • Exception - This mean that the application is impacted and presents a failure, performance degradation or loss of functionality (web server down, database stopped responding, etc).
Status The state of event being either open or closed.
Node The name of the node where the event was received.
First Occurred The date/time that the event was detected by the management application.
Type First occurred
Policy The time that the Veloopti agent detected the event
Logfile The date/time that appears in the logfile. If this does not exist then it is the date/time that the Veloopti agent performed the logfile scan.
SNMP Trap The date/time that appears in the SNMP trap
API The date/time that is sent through the API. If this does not exist then it is the date/time that the Veloopti agent received the API event.
Received The date/time that the event was received by the Veloopti agent controller.
Last Occurred This is the last time that an event was received that matched the event parameters. It is the latest "First Occurred" date of the last event that was received.
ITIL Component The ITIL component that the event relates to: Availability, Capacity, Performance or Security.
Custom event properties Custom event properties appear at the bottom of the standard event properties. These are properties that are specific to the event. This can be things like: eventID for windows event logs; URL for URL monitor policy; or anything for an inbound API policy.
