  *                      THE SITUATION FORMULA                   *

  ****************************************************************
  If a UTF-8 column is part of the situation formula, this may
  cause the situation formula to get a parsing error. As a
  result, the event does not get sent from the hub monitoring
  server to the Omnibus/TEC Event server.
  

Problem conclusion

• Ensure that all UTF-8 parts of the formula get parsed
  correctly.
