monitors. When an Event Monitoring System (EMS) event is received, the ProviderName field
value is set as follows depending on the name of the monitor.

The dm_ql_adapter monitor has the provider name field value as:
HPUXFCDIndicationProvider.
The dm_fclp_adapter monitor has the provider name field value as:
HPUXFCLPIndicationProvider.
The dm_TL_adapter monitor has the provider name field value as:
HPUXTDIndicationProvider.
Based on the provider name and event ID of the generated events, users can identify the
source and type of indication.
