Events Listing
The following table shows the class names and severities of all events defined for
the OpenView adapter. You can use it to get a sense of how OpenView events are
mapped to IBM Tivoli Enterprise Console events and to determine if you want to
make any changes. The events are defined in the BAROC file. See the IBM Tivoli
Enterprise Console Rule Builder’s Guide for more information about customizing the
BAROC file.
Event Class Structure
Event classes are defined hierarchically, with child classes inheriting attribute value
defaults from the parent. The OpenView event classes follow a simple hierarchy.
The adapter fills in the following attribute defaults. The attributes are used in
event group filters.

Additional information is provided where possible by using OpenView category
