Describing the fields in the event log

The event log includes fields with information that you can use to diagnose problems.
Table 16 describes some of the fields that are available to assist you in diagnosing problems.

Event notifications

Storwize V7000 can use Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) traps, syslog messages, and Call
Home email to notify you and the IBM Support Center when significant events are detected. Any
combination of these notification methods can be used simultaneously. Notifications are normally sent
immediately after an event is raised. However, there are some events that might occur because of service
actions that are being performed. If a recommended service action is active, these events are notified only
if they are still unfixed when the service action completes.
Each event that Storwize V7000 detects is assigned a notification type of either Error, Warning, or
Information. When you configure notifications, you specify where the notifications should be sent and
which notification types are sent to that recipient.
Table 17 on page 65 describes the types of event notifications.

Description
This number precisely identifies why the event was logged.
This number describes the service action that should be followed to resolve an error
condition. Not all events have error codes that are associated with them. Many event IDs
can have the same error code because the service action is the same for all the events.
A number that identifies the event.
The number of events coalesced into this event log record.
The object type to which the event log relates.
A number that uniquely identifies the instance of the object.
When an alert is shown for an error condition, it indicates if the reason for the event was
resolved. In many cases, the system automatically marks the events fixed when
appropriate. There are some events that must be manually marked as fixed. If the event is
a message, this field indicates that you have read and performed the action. The message
must be marked as read.
The time when this error event was reported. If events of a similar type are being
coalesced together, so that one event log record represents more than one event, this field
is the time the first error event was logged.
The time when the last instance of this error event was recorded in the log.
If set, this number is the sequence number of an event that represents an error that
probably caused this event to be reported. Resolve the root event first.
Additional data that gives the details of the condition that caused the event to be logged.
