Fields

Table 2. Fields in EVENT views
Field	Attribute name	Description
Action name	ACTION	The name of the action definition associated with the analysis or status definition that generated the event.
CMAS in which event was raised	CMAS	The name of the CMAS in which the event was generated. Depending on what type of event it is, the named CMAS is one of the following: APM - The CMAS associated with the analysis point specification. MRM - The CMAS to which the target CICS system is connected. SAM - The primary CMAS for the target CICS system.
Name of context to which event applies	CONTEXT	The CICSplex identified as the context to which the event applies.
Current HS true evaluation count	CURHSENTRY	The current number of consecutive evaluations for which a condition with a severity of HS (high severe) has been true. This value is compared to the Defined HS Entry to determine whether an event should be raised, or the severity of an existing event should be updated. If the condition is determined to be false, then the Current HS Entry value is reset to zero. When the Current HS Entry is equal to the Defined HS Entry, then an event is raised or the severity of an existing event is increased to HS, and the Current HS Entry value is reset to zero.
Current HS false evaluation count	CURHSEXIT	The current number of consecutive evaluations for which a condition with a severity of HS (high severe) has been false. This value is compared to the Defined HS Exit to determine whether an event should be cancelled, or the severity of an existing event should be updated. If the condition is determined to be true, then the Current HS Exit value is reset to zero. When the Current HS Exit is equal to the Defined HS Exit, then the event is cancelled or (for a Threshold Event) the severity is decreased to HW, and the Current HS Exit value is reset to zero.
Current HW true evaluation count	CURHWENTRY	The current number of consecutive evaluations for which a condition with a severity of HW (high warning) has been true. This value is compared to the Defined HW Entry to determine whether an event should be raised, or the severity of an existing event should be updated. If the condition is determined to be false, then the Current HW Entry value is reset to zero. When the Current HW Entry is equal to the Defined HW Entry, then an event is raised and the Current HW Entry value is reset to zero.
Current HW false evaluation count	CURHWEXIT	The current number of consecutive evaluations for which a condition with a severity of HW (high warning) has been false. This value is compared to the Defined HW Exit to determine whether an event should be cancelled, or the severity of an existing event should be updated. If the condition is determined to be true, then the Current HW Exit value is reset to zero. When the Current HW Exit is equal to the Defined HW Exit, then the event is cancelled, or (for a Threshold Event) the severity is decreased to LW, and the current HW Exit value is reset to zero.
Current LS true evaluation count	CURLSENTRY	The current number of consecutive evaluations for which a condition with a severity of LS (low severe) has been true. This value is compared to the Defined LS Entry to determine whether an event should be raised, or the severity of an existing event should be updated. If the condition is determined to be false, then the Current LS Entry value is reset to zero. When the Current LS Entry is equal to the Defined LS Entry, then an event is raised or the severity of an existing event is increased to LS, and the Current LS Entry value is reset to zero.
Current LS false evaluation count	CURLSEXIT	The current number of consecutive evaluations for which a condition with a severity of LS (low severe) has been false. This value is compared to the Defined LS Exit to determine whether an event should be cancelled, or the severity of an existing event should be updated. If the condition is determined to be true, then the Current LS Exit value is reset to zero. When the Current LS Exit is equal to the Defined LS Exit, the event is canceled or (for a Threshold Event) the severity is decreased to VLS, and the Current LS Exit value is reset to zero.
Current LW true evaluation count	CURLWENTRY	The current number of consecutive evaluations for which a condition with a severity of LW (low warning) has been true. This value is compared to the Defined LW Entry to determine whether an event should be raised, or the severity of an existing event should be updated. If the condition is determined to be false, then the Current LW Entry value is reset to zero. When the Current LW Entry is equal to the Defined LW Entry, then an event is raised and the Current LW Entry value is reset to zero.
Current LW false evaluation count	CURLWEXIT	The current number of consecutive evaluations for which a condition with a severity of LW (low warning) has been false. This value is compared to the Defined LW Exit to determine whether an event should be cancelled, or the severity of an existing event should be updated. If the condition is determined to be true, then the Current LW Exit value is reset to zero. When the Current LW Exit is equal to the Defined LW Exit, then the event is cancelled or (for a threshold event) the severity is decreased to LS and the current LW Exit value is reset to zero.
Current VHS true evaluation count	CURVHSENTRY	The current number of consecutive evaluations for which a condition with a severity of VHS (very high severe) has been true. This value is compared to the Defined VHS Entry to determine whether an event should be raised, or the severity of an existing event should be updated. If the condition is determined to be false,the Current VHS Entry value is reset to zero. When the Current VHS Entry is equal to the Defined VHS Entry, then an event is raised or the severity of an existing event is increased to VHS, and the Current VHS Entry value is reset to zero.

This value is compared to the Defined VLS Entry to determine whether an event should be raised, or the severity of an existing event should be updated. If the condition is determined to be false, then the Current VLS Entry value is reset to zero. When the Current VLS Entry is equal to the Defined VLS Entry, then an event is raised or the severity of an existing event is increased to VLS, and the Current VLS Entry value is reset to zero.
