Current event object attributes for events from Domain Managers describes the attributes contained in current event objects in the Notification Adapter generated by a Domain Manager. When customizing the notification adapters, use these attributes to retrieve the specific information you require regarding each event.

All attributes for timestamps represent units of time in seconds. The attribute’s value is the number of seconds since January 31, 1970 (Greenwich Mean Time, GMT).
