Following table lists the JSON definition table for the standard parameters within each event:


Field	Context	Format	Description
Acknowledged	All	String	Indicates if this event has been acknowledged.
AcknowledgmentTime	All	Long	The time in epoch milliseconds, when this Notification was acknowledged. A time of '0' means that the Notification has not been acknowledged.
Active	All	String	Indicates if this event is ACTIVE currently.
Category	All	String	Category of this event. The event category represents a broad categorization of the event, e.g. availability vs. performance.
Certainty	All	String	The certainty of this event.
ClassDisplayName	All	String	Display name for the event class.
ClassName	All	String	Class name of the object where this event occurred. This attribute along with InstanceName and EventName uniquely identify this event.
ClearOnAcknowledge	All	String	Indicates if this event should be cleared when it is acknowledged. Set this to TRUE only for events that do not expire nor have sources that generate a clear.
DisplayName	All	String	The string shown in the UI when this Event's name is displayed.
ElementClassName	All	String	The class name of the topology element associated with the event in the repository where this event resides. This may or may not have the same value as ClassName.
ElementName	All	String	The name of the topology element associated with the event in the repository where this event resides. This may or may not have the same value as InstanceName. The string is empty if there is no related element.
EventDisplayName	All	String	Display name for the event Name.
EventName	All	String	Name of the event. This attribute along with ClassName and InstanceName uniquely identify this event.
EventState	All	String	The current state of this event. ACTIVE: The event is currently active. WAS_ACTIVE: The event was active, but we lost contact with the event source. INACTIVE: The event is inactive. UNINITIALIZED: The event has not been notified yet; the object does not yet represent a notified event.
EventText	All	String	The textual representation or description of the event.
EventType	All	String	Indicates the nature of the event. A MOMENTARY event has no duration. An authentication failure is a good example. A DURABLE event has a period during which the event is active and after which the event is no longer active. An example of a durable event is a link failure.
FirstNotifiedAt	All	Long	First event notification time in epoch milliseconds.
Impact	All	String	A quantification of the impact of this event on the infrastructure and/or business processes. There are no pre-defined semantics to the value of this attribute other than a larger numeric value indicates a larger impact.
InMaintenance	All	String	Did this event occur during maintenance?
InstanceDisplayName	All	String	Display name for the event instance.
InstanceName	All	String	Instance name of the object where this event occurred. This attribute along with ClassName and EventName uniquely identify this event.
IsProblem	All	String	A notification is a problem when all of the original event types are 'PROBLEM' or 'UNKNOWN'. There must be at least one 'PROBLEM', i.e. 'UNKNOWN' by itself is not a problem.
IsRoot	All	String	Indicates if this event is a root cause event.
LastChangedAt	All	Long	Time in epoch milliseconds of last event change.
LastClearedAt	All	Long	Last clear time in epoch milliseconds.
LastNotifiedAt	All	Long	Last notification time in epoch milliseconds.
Name	All	String	Name of Event
OccurrenceCount	All	Long	The number of occurrences of this event starting from FirstNotifiedAt until LastNotifiedAt.
Owner	All	String	The name of the user that is responsible for handling this event.
PollingID	All	String	ID assigned in case the event is part of polling batch from the underlying source.
PollingState	All	String	State assigned to differentiate, if the event is part of polling batch or subscription.
ProcessedTimeStamp	All	Long	Timestamp in epoch milliseconds when the event from the underlying source was processed.
Properties	All	Object	JSON Object or HashMap with flexible key value pairs of type String, that represents the property names and its corresponding values.
Severity	All	String	An enumerated value that describes the severity of the event from the notifier's point of view: 1 - Critical is used to indicate action is needed NOW and the scope is broad, e.g. an outage to a critical resource. 2 - Major is used to indicate action is needed NOW. 3 - Minor should be used to indicate action is needed, but the situation is not serious at this time. 4 - Unknown indicates that the element is unreachable, disconnected or in an otherwise unknown state. 5 - Normal is used when an event is purely informational.
Source	All	String	The name(s) of the domain(s)or domainGroups that have originally diagnosed and notified - directly or indirectly - current occurrences of this event. If there are more than one original domain, the attribute lists each separated by a comma. When the notification is cleared, the last clearing domain stays in the value.
SourceDomainName	All	String	The name(s) of the domain(s)or domainGroups that have originally diagnosed and notified - directly or indirectly - current occurrences of this event. If there are more than one original domain, the attribute lists each separated by a comma. When the notification is cleared, the last clearing domain stays in the value.
SourceEventType	All	String	The type(s) of the events(s), i.e. 'PROBLEM', 'EVENT', 'AGGREGATE' in the source domains that have notified current occurrences of this event. If there is more than one domain the attribute lists each separated by a comma, in the same order as SourceDomainName.
SourceInfo	All	String	This table maps an original source to corresponding immediate sources.It also maintains domain groups corresponding to immediate sources.
SourceSpecific	All	String	This indicates additional information related to the events source.
State	All	String	The current state of this event. ACTIVE: The event is currently active. WAS_ACTIVE: The event was active, but we lost contact with the event source. INACTIVE: The event is inactive. UNINITIALIZED: The event has not been notified yet; the object does not yet represent a notified event.
Tags	All	Object	JSON Object or HashMap with flexible key value pairs of type String, that represents the tag names and its corresponding values.
Timestamp	All	Long	Timestamp in epoch milliseconds when the event was notified to the source.
ToolInfo	All	String	Place holder for data related to other tools.
TroubleTicketID	All	String	Trouble ticket ID
