To configure standard and custom event class slots to be displayed in the event list

  1. Navigate to PresentationServerInstalledDirectory\truesightpserver\modules\tomcat\webapps\infraApp\WEB-INF\classes.
  2. Back up the en.json file and edit it.

    Note

    You can customize entries in the en.json file to change the names displayed in English. To change names displayed in other languages, back up and edit the appropriate .json file.

  3. Add event class or custom slots entries in the JSON format (as key=value pairs) as per the following syntax. 
    Alternatively, change values for existing slot or event class entries. 

    • Custom event class entry syntax: "eventView.class.<className_in_lowerCase>" : "<displayClassName>"

      Example: "eventView.class.custom_ev"= "Custom Event"


    • Custom event slot entry syntax: "eventView.slot.<className>.<slotName_in_lowerCase>" : "<displaySlotName>"

      Example: “eventView.slot.custom_ev.custom_slot”= “Custom Slot”

      If the preceding syntax does not work, add a custom slot with the following syntax:
      "eventView.slot.common_slots.<slotName_in_lowerCase>" " : "<displaySlotName>"


    Note: Unless you are adding the custom event class or slot at the end of the file, ensure that you add a comma (,) after the entry.

    BMC recommends you to validate the modified .json file before saving the changes. 

  4. Restart the TrueSight Presentation Server.
