Event Types

When an event is generated by the ObserveIT system, the event name and details appear in the System Events list. The following tables describe the event types, organized per event source, with some possible causes and solutions (as relevant).

Agent Events

Code	Event Name	Category	Severity	Description
1201	Agent Service has started	Functionality	Low	The ObserveIT Agent Service has reported that it restarted after stopping (code 1202).
1202	Agent Service has stopped	Functionality	High	The ObserveIT Agent Service has reported that it has stopped. (To receive Agent health check reports, it must be restarted.)
1203	Agent service was terminated	Functionality	High	An Agent process was forcibly killed by an external application.
1204	Unrecorded Agent sessions	Functionality	High	There are unrecorded Agent sessions. This occurs when a user ends the Agent process (or disables interception in Unix). To resolve this in Windows, restart the RCDCL process in the Task Manager. On Unix, enable interception using the oitcons utility.
1205	Agent installation files were tampered-with (missing file)	Tampering	High	The ObserveIT Agent Service has reported that installation files were tampered-with.
1206	Agent installation files were tampered-with (file changed)	Tampering	High	The ObserveIT Agent Service has reported that installation files were tampered-with.
1207	Agent Registry keys were tampered with	Tampering	High	An ObserveIT Registry key was changed. Registry keys may have been deleted and/or values changed. This might affect Agent functionality. To resolve this, restore the Registry in the AgentRegistryKeys database table.
1208	Agent Registry keys are now OK	Tampering	Low	The ObserveIT Agent Service has reported that the Agent Registry keys/configuration files have been restored.
1209	Agent installation files were restored	Tampering	Low	The ObserveIT Agent Service has reported that installation files were restored after tampering.
1210	Agent installation files were tampered with	Tampering	High	The ObserveIT Agent Service has reported that installation files were tampered with. Files may have been renamed and/or contents changed. Check the problem and reinstall the Agent, or replace the tampered file with the file version that was installed previously.
1213	Unix Agent interception was tampered-with Agent activity replay data files were tampered-with	Tampering	High	The Unix Agent interception setting was tampered-with, resulting in an unrecorded session. Session data was tampered-with while the Agent was in activity replay mode.
1217	Agent activity replay data files were tampered-with	Tampering	High	Session data was tampered-with while the Agent was in activity replay mode.
1218	Agent offline data files were tampered with	Tampering	High	Session data was tampered with while the Agent was in offline mode. Files may have been renamed, or contents changed by a user who worked offline to hide his activities. (Offline files are not sent to the Application Server.) When the Agent is online again, the Agent Service reports the list of files that were tampered with.
1219	Agent Service not responding	Functionality	High	The ObserveIT Agent Service is down, perhaps due to a network malfunction or disconnection between the Agent and the Application Server, or for unknown reasons.
1220	Process was killed and automatically restarted	Tampering	High	The Agent process was killed and automatically restarted by the Watchdog.
1221	Agent is OK	Communication	Low	The ObserveIT Agent and service are activated.
1223	Agent is not reporting	Communication	High	There is no heartbeat from the Agent.
1224	Agent service was killed	Communication	High	The Agent service was forcibly killed by an external application.
1230	Agent data loss	Data Loss	High	Data loss occurred while the Agent was running. This may have occurred due to resource overload or some issue with the SQL server or the Application Server. Check that the SQL server and Application Server are working properly.
1231	Offline data loss, threshold exceeded	Data Loss	High	The volume of data exceeded its configured limit while the Agent was in offline mode, resulting in data loss. You must increase the offline data limit in the configuration file.
1232	Offline data loss, lack of disk space	Data Loss	High	Data was lost while the Agent was in offline mode due to insufficient disk space. Increase the disk space to prevent this from recurring.
1233	Activity replay data loss, threshold exceeded	Data Loss	High	The volume of data exceeded its limit while the Agent was in activity replay mode, resulting in data loss.
1234	Activity replay data loss, lack of disk space	Data Loss	High	Data was lost while the Agent was in activity replay mode due to insufficient disk space.
1240	Agent is now recording active sessions	Recording	Low	Agent sessions are now being recorded.
1242	Agent process reactivated by	Functionality	High	The Agent process was reactivated (Watchdog).
1250	Agent recording is enabled via Server Policy	Recording	Low	The recording of user actions was enabled in the Web Console Server Policies configuration.
1251	Agent recording is disabled via Server Policy	Recording	High	The recording of user actions was disabled in the Web Console Server Policies configuration.

1501	Agent interception is off	Recording	High	The Unix Agent internal Watchdog “obitd” service failed to start the ObserveIT logger after a problem was detected, and recording was disabled. (Another reason could be that someone did this on purpose using the oitcons utility, for example, as part of an upgrade process. To enable interception, use the oitcons utility.)
