Attributes for matching notification
properties
Notification attributes lists the notification attributes
that are contained in notifications generated by the
Global Manager
. When
you create a matching pattern, use the name of the attribute, not
the column heading from the Notification Log.Attribute | Default column name | Value type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
Acknowledged | Acknowledged | Boolean | Indicates if a notification has been acknowledged.
Possible values include:
|
Active | Active | Boolean | Indicates if a notification is active. Possible values
include:
|
AuditTrail | n/a | String | Audit
trail includes five fields separated by spaces. The fields include:
|
Category | Category | String | Type of notification sent by the Global Manager . Possible
values include:
|
Certainty | Certainty | Float | Confidence that this notification is the correct diagnosis. Value
ranges from 0 to 100. |
ClassDisplayName | Class | String | Name
of the class that appears to the user. |
ClassName | ClassName | String | Class
name of the instance where this event occurred. This attribute, with
InstanceName and EventName uniquely identifies this notification. |
ClearOnAcknowledge | n/a | Boolean | Indicates that this event should
be cleared when it is acknowledged. Default is FALSE. |
ElementClassName | Element Class | String | Class name of the managed element most closely related
to this event. |
ElementName | Element
Name | String | Name of the managed element
most closely related to this event. |
EventDisplayName | Event | String | Name
of the notification that appears to the user. |
EventName | EventName | String | Name of this notification. This attribute, with ClassName and
InstanceName, uniquely identify this notification. |
EventState | Event State | String | Describes the state of the event. Value can be one of:
|
EventText | Event Text | String | A description of the notification. |
EventType | Event Type | String | MOMENTARY
when the notification has no duration. DURABLE if the notification
has a period for which it is active, such as a link failure. |
FirstNotifiedAt | First Notify | Integer | Time, in seconds, when the
notification first became active. Events diagnosed by an underlying
domain include timestamps that accurately reflect when the event occurred.
The Global Manager uses this value from the event for the FirstNotifiedAt/LastNotifiedAt
times when it creates the notification. |
Impact | Impact | Integer | Numeric
value that indicates the effect of this event on related elements. |
InMaintenance | In Maintenance | Boolean | Indicates if the device is
in maintenance mode. Possible values include:
|
InstanceDisplayName | Name | String | Name of the instance
that is displayed to the user. |
InstanceName | InstanceName | String | Name
of the object where this notification occurred. This attribute, with
ClassName and EventName, uniquely identify this notification. |
IsProblem | IsProblem | Boolean | IsProblem is defined as TRUE if (and only if) at least
one of the types is “PROBLEM”, and none of the types are anything
other than “PROBLEM” or “UNKNOWN”. Since
filtering on IsRoot can result in transient behavior, it is recommended
to filter on IsProblem instead. |
IsRoot | IsRoot | Boolean | Indicates
if the notification is an authentic problem. Possible values include:
If a given notification
has no CausedBy relationship, it is declared to be a root event, and
IsRoot for that notification is set to TRUE. It is often useful
to filter on IsRoot to find those notifications which require immediate
attention. |
LastChangedAt | Last
Change | Integer | Time, in seconds, when the
status of the notification last changed. |
LastClearedAt | Last Clear | Integer | Time,
in seconds, when the notification was last cleared. |
LastNotifiedAt | Last Notify | Integer | Time, in seconds, when the notification was last notified. |
OccurrenceCount | Count | Integer | Number of times the notification has occurred. |

notification. Value is SYSTEM when acknowledged by the Global Manager . |
Severity | Severity | Integer | Level of severity for this notification. 1 = CRITICAL 2 = MAJOR 3 = MINOR 4 = UNKNOWN 5 = NORMAL Only the numbers, not the text
descriptions, are passed by the Global Manager . |
SourceDomainName | Source | String | Name of the underlying domain
that sent this notification. If more than one domain is listed, the
names are separated by commas. |
SourceEventType | SourceEventType | String | Indicates the type of event from an underlying source or sources.

notification attributes can be defined by the user. You can set a
value with a hook script specified in DomainType section of ics-default.xml
file. |
For attributes that contain a time value,
time is counted from Midnight, January 1st, 1970 (GMT). In the Global
Console, these values are converted to a date and time.
