Adding properties to event definitions

Properties are used to store system information and correlation data as string values. An event definition can contain any number of properties or no properties at all. By default, an event definition inherits any properties of its parent event definition. However, using the event definition editor, you can add one or more new properties to an event definition that are independent of the properties of the parent.

To add properties to event definitions:

Procedure

1. Open the event definition editor.

2. In the event definition editor, click the Add Property icon

   . A default property is added to the event definition.

What to do next

Now that you have added a default property to the event definition, you will probably want to rename it to something more meaningful, as described in the topic "Renaming properties."
