Event Control
Event control pre-processes the events generated by applications before the event is passed into
the main event stream. Event control assigns a severity to application events and can either
forward the event to the main event source or suppress the event. Suppressed events are counted in
event control, but these events will not generate log entries as it never reaches the log manager.
Simple event throttling is another method of event control and is configured similarly to the
generation and suppression options. See
Simple Logger Event Throttling on page
312.
Events are assigned a default severity level in the system, but the application event severities can
be changed by the user.
Application events contain an event number and description that explains why the event is
generated. The event number is unique within an application, but the number can be duplicated in
other applications.
The following example, generated by querying event control for application generated events,
displays a partial list of event numbers and names.
