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 Alcatel-Lucent ECP generates. Not all the elements described are generated for each event; the elements that the probe generates depends upon the event type.

Table 1. Elements
Element name	Description
`$AbbreviatedTime`	This element contains a two-digit token that indicates the time of the alarm.
`$AdditionalLine_nnn`	This element contains an additional line of text that describes the alarm. The alarm can contain more than one of these elements. `nnn` indicates a sequential number for the element.
`$MessageIDnn`	This element contains a token from the report header, where `nn` is an integer between 1 and 11.
`$Priority`	This element contains the priority as defined at the start of the report header.
`$PRMline`	This element contains the full Process Recovery Message (PRM) report generated for the alarm.
