Elements

The probe breaks event data down into tokens and parses them into elements. Elements are used to assign values to ObjectServer fields; the field values contain the event details in a form that the ObjectServer understands.

The following table describes the elements that the probe generates. Not all the elements described are generated for each event; the elements that the probe generates depend on the event type.
