EFM Data Items: FMS Events

The flow measurement events data item strings that follow describe FMS Events data items supported by CygNet.

Note: The eventItems section of the device template file does not contain configuration data items. However, changes to any data item in the configItem section results in an event being sent to FMS. Configuration data items are omitted from the eventItems section of the device template file to avoid data item duplication within the device template file.

See CygNet Measurement for more information.
