Customizing event definitions

You can use the CyberArk Configuration Console (or the Logging MMC snapin) to customize the Description and Translation of existing event definitions. Other properties of an event definition (such as event IDs, field names, and field types) cannot be customized.

To customize an existing event definition

1. Open the CyberArk Configuration Console (or the Tools MMC snapin), and open the Tools node.
2. Click the Event Definitions node.
3. In the bottom panel, double click on an Event.

4. You can customize both the Description and the Translation.

   Macros are allowed. You can see what content will be provided in the macros when you look at the event definition.

   For example, if the content for Text 2 is "Contact", you could incorporate the corresponding macro, $Event.Text2$, like this:

   For additional information, please reach out to $Event.Text2$.

   If you incorporated this into an email notification, the resulting paragraph would replace $Event.Text2$ with the contact's name, and might look like this:

   For additional information, please reach out to Jon Smith.

5. When you're done, click Apply.

Resetting to original event definitions

When you change an event definition, it gets marked as "customized" and is stored separately from the default event definitions. This means your customizations are preserved during upgrades, even when the underlying default definitions are updated.

You can revert an event definition to the default by clicking the Undo arrow next to the event description or the event translation.
