WebSphere Agent Events attributes

The attributes provide information about agent-level events.

The WebSphere® Agent Events attributes provide information about agent-level events that affect the ability of the monitoring agent to collect data about WebSphere Application Server. These attributes provide exception and error messages, their IDs, and their severities.

The attributes within this group are used to build the WebSphere Agent workspace.
