Version tracking records the following data for change events:
Element: The name of the element as shown in the Operations Center hierarchy.
Severity: The status of the element:
OK indicates creation (it is green by default)
Informational indicates changes (it is blue by default)
Unmanaged indicates removals (it is brown by default)
The default colors for severity can be changed. For more information, see Managing Condition/Severity Colors
in the Operations Center 5.0 User Guide.
Change: The type of action that occurred (create, change, remove).
Description: Information about what change occurred. For example, if a new element is added to a service model, the action type is create and the description is Element Added.
Value: The new value for the change described in the field. Only the alarms portlet shows the value field; it is not available in the Alarms view in the console. For example, if a property page for contact information was added to an element and Jane Doe was added in the contact field on that page, the field shows Attribute "Contact" set to Jane Doe and the field shows Jane Doe.
Date/time: The date (in the format mm/dd/yyyy) and the time (in the format hh:mm:ss AM/PM) that version tracking recorded the action.
User Name: The user name of the account that was used to take the action.
This data can be viewed and monitored in the Alarms view in the Operations Center console or in an alarms portlet in the dashboard. It can also be used in reports using the alarms views and alarms tables in SQL Views.
If no version tracking data is available, either version tracking has not been properly configured or no changes were made that are recorded by version tracking.
For more information about alarms in general, see Alarms View
in the Operations Center 5.0 User Guide.
