EIF life cycle event

In addition to emitting situation start or stop and status events, the Event Integration Facility event emitter generates additional life cycle events that are not private situation related.
Life cycle events are emitted when the agent or situation changes state, as shown in the EIF life cycle events table. The heartbeat event is a life cycle event that needs no state change to be emitted: it is sent at regular intervals to confirm that the agent is running.

EIF life cycle events.

Event Meaning
EE_AUTO_ENTER The situation has entered autonomous mode operation.
EE_AUTO_EXIT The situation has exited autonomous mode operation.
EE_CONFIG_UPDATE Generated when the configuration file is pulled from a server.
EE_HEARTBEAT Agent heartbeat.
EE_TEMS_CONNECT The agent is connected to the monitoring server.
EE_TEMS_DISCONNECT The agent is disconnected from the monitoring server.
EE_TEMS_RECONNECT_LIMIT Agent reconnect to the monitoring server limit has been exceeded.
EE_SIT_STOPPED The situation is stopped. This is optional.
The situation_status slot for EIF events sends "P" automatically for a stopped situation.

All life cycle EIF events are ITM_StatEvent, which is a derived class of Event, with the following slot values:
