Options

  • target_name

    Target name.

  • target_type

    Target type name.

  • message

    Message to associate for the event. The message cannot exceed 4000 characters.

  • severity

    Numeric severity level to associate for the event. The supported values for severity level are as follows:

    • "CLEAR"
    • "MINOR_WARNING"
    • "WARNING"
    • "CRITICAL"
    • "FATAL"

  • name

    Name of the event to publish. The event name cannot exceed 128 characters.

    This is indicative of the nature of the event. Examples include "Disk Used Percentage," "Process Down," "Number of Queues," and so on. The name must be repeated and identical when reporting different severities for the same sequence of events. This should not have any identifying information about a specific event; for example, "Process xyz is down." To identify any specific components within a target that the event is about, see the key option below.

  • key

    Name of the sub-component within a target this event is related to. Examples include a disk name on a host, name of a tablespace, and so forth. The key cannot exceed 256 characters.

  • context

    Additional context that can be published for a given event. This is a series of strings of format name:value separated by a semi-colon. For example, it might be useful to report the percentage size of a disk when reporting space issues on the disk. You can override the default separator ":" by using the sub-separator option, and the pair separator ";" by using the separator option.

    The context names cannot exceed 256 characters, and the values cannot exceed 4000 characters.

  • separator

    Set to override the default ";" separator. You typically use this option when the name or the value contains ";". Using "=" is not supported for this option.

  • subseparator

    Set to override the default ":" separator between the name-value pairs. You typically use this option when the name or value contains ":". Using "=" is not supported for this option.
