Introduction
Following are all currently supported events explained with their included data and formats. Events are widely used internally as well as within extension like the Data Exporter.
Events are triggered by the monitoring process and can then lead to further actions, such as exporting the event information into an external file.
Data Types
All rows are of data type "string", except:
| Name | Data Type |
|---|---|
| timestamp | UNIX timestamp |
| start_time | UNIX timestamp |
| end_time | UNIX timestamp |
| tries | integer, possible values: number of tries |
| notification_number | integer, possible values: number of sent notifications |
| is_fixed | integer, possible values: 0, 1 |
| is_persistent | integer, possible values: 0, 1 |
| triggered_by | integer, possible values: downtime_id |
| duration | integer, possible values: duration in seconds |
NOTE: The 'host_name' and/or 'service_name' are the unique identifiers for each event and the events are related to each other through this id. Except for 'CONFIG CHANGE' which has no relation to any other event.
Events
The different possible event types with examples are listed below.

| Note |
|---|
Unfortunately there is currently a bug about the 'donwtime_id' field for the 'DEL ...' events. The id is not passed within the 'SCHEDULE ...' events, therefore the deletion of a downtime cannot easily be connected to a scheduling. This will be fixed in the future. |
