Understanding event status
The status of an event provides basic information about the event's response activity. The BMC TrueSight Infrastructure Management Server assigns a status value to each event, and then you can change the status by performing event operations or other actions on the event. Also, a rule can change the status of an event automatically.
The following table lists the icons that are displayed in the event list to represent event status.
Event status icons
Icon | Event status |
|---|---|
| Open |
| Closed |
| Acknowledged |
| Assigned |
| Blackout |
The color of the status icon is always the same. However, if you have configured the event list to use the severity color for the event line, the color of the icon's background varies with the severity of the event.
