Summarization attributes
The Event Type and Occurrence Count attributes are used to help summarize events.
When event summarization is enabled, the Event Type and Occurrence Count attributes become meaningful. The Event Type attribute indicates the type of the event, being either an Event or a Summary Event. General events that correspond to records found in the log on a one-to-one basis are tagged as Event. Summary events that are sent at the end of the Summary Interval, are tagged as Summary Event.
The Occurrence Count attribute indicates the total amount of duplicate records found in the log for the event. Summary events include this count as it shows the number of events received that matched the summary event during the previous summary interval.
Situations and Summary Events
Regardless of the filter value as described in Filtering events, you always get the summary events at the end of each summary interval, for any event that occurred at least once during that interval. If you are not expecting the summary events your situations can be accidentally triggered. To avoid this accidental triggering of a situation, include a clause in the situation for Event Type== Event or Event Type!= Summary Event.
