TrueSight Operations Manager monitor adapter now supports Common Event Model

The TrueSight Operations Manager monitor adapter now supports the Common Event Model format. A new element, Use Common Event Model is added to the adapter configuration, which provides an option to convert incoming events to a common event model format. The default value for this element is False. However, while using the monitor adapter as part of the Event Orchestration, you must use the Common Event Model to successfully use the run book. 

For more information about adapter configuration, see Configuring-the-BMC-TrueSight-Operations-Manager-adapter. For more information about the common event model and how it is used for the run book, see Common-Event-Model-for-Event-Orchestration
