The event system attribute provides information about the functional system of the product that generated the event. A management application can use the values of this attribute and the event subsystem attribute (Event Subsystem) to construct a simple message describing the event.

This attribute is required in the event generation group.

The syntax of the event system definition is:

name = "event system"
id = 6
description = "The major functional aspect of the product "
              "causing the fault."
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.
