Using the Integration Capabilities of the VPO Motif-based GUI
Event Integration Through Messages
Chapter 3128
In the Custom Message Attributes window, the Name fields define the
name of the attribute which is then displayed as an additional column in
the browser windows. The Value fields display the value of the attribute.
This value can contain one or more of the following:
❏ Hard-coded text
❏ Variables returned by VPO’s pattern-matching mechanism
❏ Predefined VPO variables
See the VPO Administrator’s Reference Volume I for a list of
predefined variables.
NOTE Custom message attributes are only displayed in the browser and
message properties windows of the Java-based operator GUI. The
Motif-based operator GUI is not capable of displaying them.
If so configured, custom message attributes are passed to the message
stream interface (MSI) on the agent and/or the management server. See
the VPO Developer’s Reference for more information about available
APIs.
Custom message attributes are also passed to trouble ticket systems
and/or notification services.
