Issue/Introduction

- The zEvent probe alarms does not contain the UIM ORIGIN on the events.

Cause

- zEvent probe product limitation

Environment

Release : 20.3

Component : UIM OPERATOR CONSOLE - ALARM VIEWER

Resolution

- Similar work arounds could be accomplished by using alarm_enrichment or NAS AO rule to create a new_alarm.

- Using an eventrule.xml file for the ems probe to process these and allows the bus user to view the zEvent alarms. 

- Engineering has reviewed the request to enhance the zEvent probe as suggested, but unfortunately these probes are End of Life (EOL) as of Feb 28 2022.
