This attribute indicates whether the component that generates an event is state-based. If the component is state-based, an event is generated whenever the component's state changes or when any problem state is cleared. If the component is not state-based, an event is generated for any condition of interest that develops, but no event is generated when the condition clears.

This attribute is required in the event generation group.

The syntax of the event-is-state-based definition is:

name = "event is state-based"
id = 3
description = "The value of this attribute determines "
              "whether the Event being reported is a "
              "state-based Event or not. If the value of "
              "this attribute is TRUE then the Event is state-"
              "based. Otherwise the Event is not state-based."
type = "BOOL"
access = read-only
storage = common

value = "False"

A value of True indicates that the event is state-based.
