recordedTime

UTC date and time that the event was recorded by the local Broker.

recordedTimeUsec

Microsecond portion of the TIME value.

reporterGroupUuid

Universally unique identifier of the work group of which the reporter is a member. If the reporterGroupUuid and the reporterObjectUuid are the same, the component is the work group leader.

reporterIpAddr

Host name of the component that generated the event. This is the host name as reported by the operating system, typically using the gethostname() function.

reporterName

Name of the component that generated the event:

  • UBROKER
  • UCMD-MANAGER
  • UCMD-SERVER
  • UDM-MANAGER
  • UDM-SERVER
  • UEM-MANAGER
  • UEM-SERVER
  • UEC
  • USAP
  • UCTL-MANAGER

reporterObjectUuid

Universally unique identifier of the object identified as the reporter of the event.

reporterParentUuid

Universally unique identifier of the parent component of the process that reported the event.

reporterSysId

Installation system identifier of the component that generated the event. The system identifier identifies a specific Universal Agent installation on a host system.

reporterUnitUuid

Universally unique identifier of the work unit of which the reporter is a member. If the reporterUnitUuid and the reporterObjectUuid are the same value, the component is the unit leader.

sourceGroupUuid

Universally unique identifier of the work group of which the source is a member. If the sourceGroupUuid and the sourceObjectUuid are the same, the component is the work group leader.

sourceIpAddr

Host name of the component that generated the event. This is the host name as reported by the operating system, typically using the gethostname() function.

sourceName

Name of the component that generated the event. Valid names include:

  • UBROKER
  • UCMD-MANAGER
  • UCMD-SERVER
  • UDM-MANAGER
  • UDM-SERVER
  • UEM-MANAGER
  • UEM-SERVER
  • UEC

  • UCTL-SERVER

sourceObjectUuid

Universally unique Identifier of the object identified as the source of the event. The type of object is represented by the eventTopic.

sourceParentUuid

Universally unique identifier of the parent component of the process that generated the event.

sourceSysId

Installation system identifier of the component that generated the event. The system identifier identifies a specific Universal Agent installation on a host system.

sourceUnitUuid

Universally unique identifier of the work unit of which the source is a member. If the sourceUnitUuid and the sourceObjectUuid are the same value, the component is the unit leader.

timeZone

Time zone in which the event was generated. The value is the number of seconds between UTC and local time.

version

Numeric value that is incremented whenever the header changes (that is, changes to the header format or header fields).
