Documentation can be found [here](registry/README.md). +## `Action Flags` and `Event Type` Rules + +The `Action Flags` and `Event Type` PEL fields are optional in the message +registry, and if not present the code will set them based on certain rules +layed out in the PEL spec. In fact, even if they were specified, the checks +are still done to ensure consistency across all the logs. + +These rules are: +1. Always set the `Report` flag, unless the `Do Not Report` flag is already on. +2. Always clear the `SP Call Home` flag, as that feature isn't supported. +3. If the severity is `Non-error Event`: + - Clear the `Service Action` flag. + - Clear the `Call Home` flag. + - If the `Event Type` field is `Not Applicable`, change it to `Information + Only`. + - If the `Event Type` field is `Information Only` or `Tracing`, set the + `Hidden` flag. +4. If the severity is `Recovered`: + - Set the `Hidden` flag. + - Clear the `Service Action` flag. + - Clear the `Call Home` flag. +5. For all other severities: + - Clear the `Hidden` flag. + - Set the `Service Action` flag. + - Set the `Call Home` flag. + +Additional rules may be added in the future if necessary. + ## D-Bus Interfaces |
