Event types
For the purposes of the Event Gateway, event types fall into three broad categories: Problem, Resolution, and Information.
For the purposes of the Event Gateway, event types fall into the
following categories:
- Type = 1: Problem
- The Event Gateway assigns one of a number of different states to problem events, based on the previous state, and based on the Severity and Tally fields in the event.
- Type = 2: Resolution
- Resolution events are immediately assigned the Resolution state.
- Type =13: Information
- Information events are immediately assigned the Information state.
