Event codes
Events are used in the library Ticket and Event system to store all types of events with a unique event
code and event description.
Event Reporting System
These event codes are shown on the user interfaces as the resulting code for any type of event at the
highest level of information. No internal error code is shown at this level.
Events are sent by the library to different recipients like SNMP targets or email notification. These events
have a common structure and unique codes for every type of event.
The event code system is used for the following events:
• Error event (2XXX)
• Warning event (4XXX)
• Configuration event (8XXX)
• Informational event (9XXX)
