Conversions
Conversions is a standard configuration interface for adding, editing, and removing the event display conversions applied to event lists. Display conversions let you show more readable names for event data in the UI. For example, the default event severity conversion converts the integer values from the database field to a word which displays in the UI.
For information about interacting with the grid and form, see Standard Configuration Interface in Unified Assurance Concepts.
This user interface calls REST methods from the api/event/displayConversions endpoints. See REST API for Unified Assurance Core for details.
To open this interface, from the main navigation menu, select Configuration, then Events, and then Conversions.
Form Fields
-
Field: The name of the event field to convert.
-
Conversions: An unordered list of conversions for the event field.
-
Value: The field value from the database.
-
Display: The corresponding value to display in the UI.
-
Caution:
If you add a display conversion for a field that is used as a token in an event tool path, you must update the event tool to add Raw to the end of the field name. For example, if you create a conversion for ZoneID, you must update the paths for the Device Overview and View Metric tools to use <ZoneIDRaw> instead of <ZoneID>.
If you later disable the conversion, you do not have to update the tool path again. The path will still work with the Raw field name, even when the conversion is disabled. If you delete the conversion, you must update the path to remove Raw.
