Monitoring Configuration documents
Monitoring Configuration documents define and configure what constitutes an event and how the event is handled. You can also use these documents to customize the message that appears on screen when an event occurs. The Monitoring Configuration documents are stored in EVENTS4.NSF.

Event Generator documents are also stored in the Monitoring Configuration database, EVENTS4.NSF.

Event Generator Documents

There are six Event Generator documents. The Event Generator documents specify a threshold or condition, which, when met, causes events to be generated.
