Table Of Contents
Table 21. Event Database Tables (Continued)
Table Name Description
event_data_historical Data values for all events.
event_historical Metadata and search optimization data for all events.
View records details about events to all the database tables. After a certain period of time has elapsed
since writing an event record, View deletes the record from the event and event_data tables. You can use
View Administrator to configure the time period for which the database keeps a record in the event and
event_data tables.
Important View does not restrict the growth of the event_historical and event_data_historical tables.
You must implement a space management policy for these tables.
A unique primary key, EventID, identifies each event that View records in the event and event_historical
tables. View records data values for each event in the event_data and event_data_historical tables. You
can obtain the complete set of information for an event by joining the event and event_data tables or the
event_ historical and event_data_historical tables on the EventID column.
The EventType, Severity, and Time columns in the event and event_historical tables identify the type and
severity of an event and the time at which it occurred.
For information about setting up the event database, see the View Installation document.
Note Events might be lost if you restart View Connection Server instances while the event database is
not running. For a solution that avoids this problem see http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1021461.
