Events

An event is a message that is triggered by an instantaneous occurrence in your networking infrastructure, usually indicating that something significant has occurred. Events are reported for several reasons. They are reported when data exceeds a threshold or when configuration changes are detected. View a list of events on the Events Display dashboard.

When data that triggers an event is reported, the Event Manager component of CA Infrastructure Management processes the event data. The Event Manager is integrated with CA Spectrum. As a result, events typically generate an alarm that can be viewed in CA Spectrum. The severity level assigned to each event depends on event configuration in CA Spectrum.

Events provide information for monitoring the health and status of your networking environment. Each event includes useful data for troubleshooting.
