Hi all,

I like to use MS Access for creating some reports. It seems to me, that the field "root_event_id" of table "event_log" is used for maintenance mode (if there is a number <> 0 stored the event was created while the node was in maintenance mode). Is this correct? Or will this field also be used for other features (which I may not notice with my configuration)?

Hi,

this field contains root event id detected by event correlation module. When node is in maintenance mode all events will be correlated to "enter maintenance" event, but there are also other possible situations, for example when node goes down, all "interface down" events for ech interface correlated to "node down" event.
You can distinguish if events was correlated to maintenance mode start event by checking event code of root event.

Best regards,
Victor
