The event type attribute indicates the reason that the event was generated. This attribute is required in the event generation group.

The syntax of the event type definition is:

name = "event type"
id = 1
description = "The type of event that has occurred."
type = <enumeration>
access = read-only
storage = specific

value = 0

The enumeration list is unique to the event generation group being defined and is not specified in this example.
