ESX level events

Name	Id	Type	Description
Event Type	eventType	string	Event type set to PH_DEV_MON_SYS_PING_STAT
Event Severity	eventSeverity	uint16	Set to 1. In general, a number between 0 (lowest severity) and 10 (highest severity)
Event Severity Category	eventSeverityCat	string	Set to Low. IN general, takes the values Low, Medium and High. Event Severities 0-4 are mapped to Low, 5-8 are mapped to Medium and 9-10 are mapped to High
Event Receive Time	phRecvTime	Date	Time at which AccelOps generated this event
Reporting IP	reptDevIpAddr	Date	IP address of device reporting this event. In this case set to the device reporting the utilization (same as Host name attribute)
Relaying IP	relayDevIpAddr	Date	IP address of device relaying this event from the source to AccelOps. In general it could be a syslog-ng IP address but in this, since AccelOps talks to the device directly, Relaying IP is set to AccelOps IP Address.
Raw Event Log	rawEventMsg	string	Raw event containing all attributes in comma separated “[Attribute] = value” format.
VM Name	vmName
Host name	hostName	string	Host name (as in AccelOps CMDB) of the device whose CPU utilization is being reported
Host IP Address	hostIpAddr	IP	Access IP (as in AccelOps CMDB) of the device whose CPU utilization is being reported
