Event is not valid (message CEIEM0027E)

My event source is trying to send an event, but the emitter does not submit it to the event service and outputs message CEIEM0027E to the log file ("The emitter did not send the event to the event server because the Common Base Event is not valid").

Cause

This message indicates that one or more of the event properties contain data that does not conform to the Common Base Event specification. There are many ways in which event data might not be valid, including the following:

• The global instance identifier must be at least 32 characters but no more than 64 characters in length.

• The severity must be within the range of 0 - 70.

Remedy

To correct this problem:

1. Check the detailed exception message in the log file to determine which event property is not valid.

   For example, this messages indicates that the length of the global instance identifier ( ABC) is not valid:

   Exception: org.eclipse.hyades.logging.events.cbe.ValidationException
     : IWAT0206E The length of the identifier in the specified Common 
        Base Event property is outside the valid range of 32 to 64 
        characters.
     Property: CommonBaseEvent.globalInstanceId 
     Value: ABC

2. Correct the event content at the source so it conforms to the Common Base Event specification.
3. Resubmit the event.
