A category of events.

description* | xsd:string |
A string that is a short human-parseable description of the event.
This is not the full message string (which may contain details of the arguments, etc.), but merely a more understandable, and localized, description of what the event stands for. It is meant for contexts where the name of the event has to be displayed to end-users, e.g. when creating Event-based Alarms. ` * E.g., for VmPoweredOnEvent, the eventDescription in English might say "VM Powered On". Since vSphere API 4.0 |
formatOnComputeResource | xsd:string |
A string that is appropriate in the context of a specific cluster.
For example, a powering on event in this context produces the
following string:
"{vm.name} on {host.name} is powered on".
|
formatOnDatacenter | xsd:string |
A string that is appropriate in the context of a specific
Datacenter. For example, a renaming event in this context produces
the following string:

where oldName and
newName are properties of the
VmRenamedEvent object.

of a specific Host. For example, a powering on event in this
context produces the following string:
"{vm.name} is powered on"
