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 for IEC CIM Advanced Metering Infrastructure generates. Not all the elements described are generated for each event; the elements that the probe generates depends upon the event type.

$Event_category |
This element contains the category of the event as defined in the IEC CIM AMI standard. The category consists of four integers separated by periods. The first integer identifies the type of device that generated the event, the remaining three integers identify the type of event. In this release, the probe implements only a small number of the events and types of device that the IEC CIM AMI standards define. The probe uses two look up tables to convert the IEC CIM AMI event data into fields for an ObjectServer event. These tables appear in the file $NCHOME/omnibus/probes/includes/iec_cim_ami_lookup.rules. |
|
$Event_createdDateTime |
This element contains date and time when this category of event first occurred. |
|
$Event_description |
This element contains a description of the event. |
|
$Event_mRID |
This element contains name of the entity that the event relates to and is held in the <mRID> tag in the XML message that contains the event. |
