6.8 Event Classification and Taxonomy Keys

The value of the eventclass key in Sentinel's ExtendedInformation event field specifies a class of events where this particular event belongs. This mechanism allows classification of multiple events into a single event class, even when their message bodies and/or other ExtendedInformation key/value pairs differ. For example, any event detailing the logout of a user from an Orchestration Server administrator account is classified with the event class admin_logout. This event class also serves as the taxonomy key for use by Sentinel.

Many log events are currently unclassified, so their event classes are also unclassified. We anticipate the number of unclassified log events to decrease incrementally over subsequent Cloud Manager Orchestration Server releases.

All non-failure events are logged on success rather than on action initiation. For example, an event with the event class job_deployed would only be seen after the job had been successfully deployed, not when the deployment attempt was initiated.
