2453.0. "Notification PM" by TAEC::BOSSARD () Fri Feb 28 1992 11:49

I have a question about the information displayed in the notification window 
when a new occurence is catched.

I read in the use manual that what was displayed was :

	-type of event
	-severity level
	-identifier number
	-entity name
	-text description	
	-arrival time
	-domain name

What is this text description ? where does it come from ?

For instance if I want to be notified of all new occurences of an 
attribute-change event will the values (old and new) of the attributes be 
displayed  in the notification PM ?

If I want to direct also this event to the Iconic Map, when I select the
entity and "display alarm" what do I get ?

Thank's for your help,

	jj

    The text description in the notification PM display is the
    reply text string for the event defined by the MSL. 
    
    As to where the value information is returned by the alarms
    module, it should be returned as part of the additional
    information supplied with the event. I will give a check
    see to make sure it is being returned.
    
    Now to clarify two points:
    
    	1) I believe the section in the manual you are referring to is
    describing what is displayed in the notification brief format, double
    clicking on the notification will display all of the additional
    information returned to the PM by the event source.
    
    	2) There has been an enhancement made to the notification PM
    functions. This enhancement allows users/developers to tell the PM
    where to get the "text description" from. This function was added so as
    to allow modules that only support 1 generic event, a means of using
    the argument data for the text description (the data collector module
    is a prime example of such an event source). More information will be
    forthcoming on this in the near future.
    
    Hope this helps some.

2453.2correlating information for "display alarms"TOOK::CALLANDERMCC = My Constant CompanionMon Mar 02 1992 12:2017
    Oh, one more thing on rereading the note. The last question is a bit
    confusing to me. See if this helps. When you select an entity and then
    request to display alarms, you will see a "correlated" list of
    notifications currently available on the entity. (This menu item should
    be renamed to display notifications because it displays more than just
    alarms -- use the filters window to filter notification by event type.)
    
    What you will see in this situation are all uncorrelated notifications.
    Where correlated would mean if you got a OSI rule fired followed by an
    alarm clear event on the same entity/rule then only the clear will be
    displayed; also if you got 10 of the same event on the same entity
    (like 10 automatic counter events on a remote node) then only the last
    one will be displayed. To see all of the events you use the
    notification window.
