Events generated

PATROL Agent generates events for PATROL objects that are blacked out. The following new event classes are added to the Standard Event Catalog:

BlackoutStart event

When blackout for a PATROL object starts, PATROL Agent generates a BlackoutStart event. The BlackoutStart event contains the blackout type and duration, and the information message.

BlackoutStop event

When the blackout of an object is complete, PATROL Agent sends a BlackoutStop event. The BlackoutStop event description contains the type of blackout and the information message.

Additional events

For the TYPE_EVENT blackout type, if the state of the PATROL object is not OK, PATROL Agent generates an additional update status event, soon after the blackout is completed.
