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:

NameData Type
timestampUNIX timestamp
start_timeUNIX timestamp
end_timeUNIX timestamp
triesinteger, possible values: number of tries
notification_numberinteger, possible values: number of sent notifications
is_fixedinteger, possible values: 0, 1
is_persistentinteger, possible values: 0, 1
triggered_byinteger, possible values: downtime_id
durationinteger, 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.
