System Event Types
When an event is generated by the ITM On-Prem (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 ITM On-Prem (ObserveIT) Agent Service has reported that it restarted after stopping (code 1202). |
1202 |
Agent Service has stopped |
Functionality |
High |
The ITM On-Prem (ObserveIT) Agent Service has reported that it has stopped. (To receive Agent health check reports, it must be restarted.) The ITM On-Prem (ObserveIT) Agent Service has reported that it has been manually 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 ITM On-Prem (ObserveIT) Agent Service has reported that installation files were tampered-with. |

1210 |
Agent installation files were tampered with |
Tampering |
High |
The ITM On-Prem (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. |
1211 | Unofficial DLL file was added to agent installation folder | Tampering | High | A DLL file which is not part of the official agent installation files was added to the installation folder, potentially to tamper and affect agent functionality. |

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.

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 |

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. |

Agent interception is off |
Recording |
High |
The Unix Agent internal Watchdog “obitd” service failed to start the ITM On-Prem (ObserveIT) logger after a problem was detected, and recording was disabled.
