Each event contains a corrective action description, which can assist and accelerate the decisions the administrator needs to make in response to the event.The formal event definition describes the meaning of the event in the context of the cluster.The dot-separated, tree-style naming scheme of the messages provides significant accuracy pertaining to the messages’ origin and meaning.EMS contains thousands of predefined messages that are triggered on the corresponding event.This allows EMS to provide services such as automatic spam management (such as message suppression), configurable notifications, assistance with translating low-level data into understandable text, NVRAM backing of messages, and automatic tagging of messages.EMS provides a cataloged logging mechanism, and every event has a formal definition.EMS simplifies the management of cluster wide events and how the administrator chooses to be notified.The event management system (EMS) is the clustered Data ONTAP messaging facility built on the syslog standard.
