 o  clock set

    This event is generated each time that a DECdts process sets its
    local clock.  Arguments:

    new time      Specifies the corrected clock setting.

    old time      Specifies the faulty time before the clock was set.

 o  different epoch detected

    This event is generated each time the local node receives a time
    value that has an epoch number different from its own. This event
    normally occurs after a node's epoch has been changed.  Arguments:

    local epoch   Specifies the local node's epoch number.
    number

    server [id]   Specifies the known servers and their epoch numbers.

 o  disable completed

    This event is generated each time that a disable command is
    executed to stop DECdts.

 o  enable completed

    This event is generated each time that an enable command is
    executed to start DECdts.

 o  epoch change completed

    This event is generated each time that the epoch is set for the
    local node.  Arguments:

    new epoch     Specifies the epoch number after the epoch was
                  declared.

    old epoch     Specifies the epoch number before the epoch was
                  declared.

 o  insufficient resources detected

    This event is generated each time that the node's virtual memory
    is full. The event is displayed on all nodes and is usually
    followed by a system abort.

 o  invalid message detected

    This event is generated each time that the local node receives
    a corrupted or incorrect message. Invalid messages are normally
    retransmitted, but the hexadecimal contents of the invalid message
    are supplied for troubleshooting.  Arguments:

    message       Specifies the hexadecimal contents of the invalid
                  message.

    node [id]     Specifies the full name of the node that generated
                  the invalid message.

 o  local time does not intersect

    This event is generated each time that the time interval of the
    local node does not intersect with the values received from other
    servers. If this event is frequently generated, you may wish to
    decrease the setting for the characteristic synchronization hold down
    or increase the settings for the characteristics error tolerance or
    maximum inaccuracy.  Arguments:

    clock set     Specifies whether or not the clock was automatically
                  set to correct the local fault. If false, the clock
                  was not set to correct the local fault.

    computed      Specifies the intersection of the majority of server
    time          times.

    local time    Specifies the local time interval that does
                  not intersect with the computed time.

 o  no global server

    This event is generated at a courier server when it cannot locate
    a global server.

 o  protocol version mismatch detected

    This event is generated each time that the DECdts protocol version
    of a received message does not match the protocol in force at the
    local node.  Argument:

    node [id]     Specifies the full name of the node that generated
                  the message with the incompatible protocol version.

 o  server not responding

    This event is generated at a courier server when it attempts to
    synchronize with the listed global server, but the server does not
    respond. The event may be caused by a low characteristic setting
    for wan timeout.  Argument:

    node [id]     Specifies the node name of the server not responding.

 o  server time does not intersect

    This event is generated each time that the local node receives a
    potentially faulty time value from a server. If the event is
    repeatedly generated for the same node, examine the node's
    settings for these characteristics: error tolerance,
    synchronization hold down, and maximum inaccuracy.  Argument:

    server [id]   Specifies the list of servers used in the
                  synchronization.

 o  synchronization completed

    This event is generated each time that a synchronization is
    completed for the local node.  Arguments:

    clock         Specifies the relative time that the local clock
    adjustment    needs to be adjusted to match the computed time.

    computed      Specifies the time computed from the intersection of
    time          all server time intervals.

    This event is one that network managers commonly select to be
    blocked.  If you wish to block this event, you may do so using
    the NET$EVENT_LOCAL script.  For more information about that
    script, refer to HELP NETWORK_MANAGEMENT EVENT_DISPATCHER.

 o  system error detected

    This event is generated each time that the operating system
    has a system error relevant to DECdts operation. See the system
    documentation for an explanation of the report text.  Argument:

    error text    Specifies the system error report.

 o  time provider failure detected

    This event is generated each time that an external time provider
    returns an invalid time or does not respond.

 o  time representation version mismatch detected

    This event is generated each time that the local node receives
    a response indicating that it is using an invalid time
    representation version.  Argument:

    node [id]     Specifies the name of the node that is running the
                  incompatible time representation version.

 o  too few servers detected

    This event is generated each time that the number of servers
    specified by the servers required characteristic are not available
    for synchronization with the local node.  Arguments:

    number        Specifies the number of servers that responded to
    detected      the synchronization request.

    number        Specifies the number of servers required for
    required      synchronization.

 o  too many servers detected

    This event is generated each time that server responses overflow
    the synchronization list buffer of the local node. The difference
    between the maximum delivered and number accepted arguments is the
    number of responses that overflowed the buffer.  Arguments:

    number        Specifies the number of server responses that were
    accepted      accepted by the node.

    number        Specifies the number of servers responding to a
    detected      solicitation.

 o  update initiated

    This event confirms an attempt to change the system time resulting
    from the update command.  Arguments:

    current time  Specifies the current system time.

    update time   Specifies the new, updated system time.
