View records details about events to all the database tables. After a certain period of time has elapsed since
writing an event record, View deletes the record from the event and event_data tables. You can use View
Administrator to configure the time period for which the database keeps a record in the event and event_data
tables. See the View Installation document for more information.
A unique primary key, EventID, identifies each event that View records in the event and event_historical
tables. View records data values for each event in the event_data and event_data_historical tables. You can
obtain the complete set of information for an event by joining the event and event_data tables or the event_
historical and event_data_historical tables on the EventID column.
The EventType, Severity, and Time columns in the event and event_historical tables identify the type and
severity of an event and the time at which it occurred.
Table 2-2 shows the schema for the event and event_historical tables.
N
OTE It is possible for events to be lost if you restart View Connection Server instances while the event
database is not running. For a solution that avoids this problem see http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1021461.
