Lesson 1.4: Events
Achange of state of a an IT component that could negatively impact delivery of ITservices.
Events are typically notifications created by an IT service, Configuration Item (CI) or a monitoring tool.Event Type Description
Informational An event that does not require any action, regular operation§ Example: Notification that a scheduled workload hascompleted
Warning An Event that is unusual but not an exception, requiresclosermonitoring.§ Example: A servers CPU utilization is approaching maximum
performance threshold.Exception An Event signifying a service or a device is operatingabnormally
§ Example: A PC scan reveals the installation of unauthorizedsoftware.

174
Lesson 1.5: Alerts & Incidents
Alert§ A warning that a threshold has been
reached, something has changed, ora Failure has occurred.
§ Alerts are often created and managed by System Management tools.
§ Alerts are managed by the Event Management Process.
§ Objective is to notify the concerned Stakeholders
Incident
§ An unplanned interruption to an ITservice.
§ A reduction in the quality of an IT service.
§ Failure of an IT component that has not yet affected service, but could likely disrupt service if left unchecked. This can be raised by IT support teams.§ Example: Failure of a server in a
clustered mode.
Relationship between Events, Alerts and Incident
All Alerts are Events, but not all Events trigger AlertsAll Incidents are Events, but all Events are notIncidents
©Karokasb www.karokasb.org
Lesson 1.6: Service Request175
Service Request
§ A generic description for many varying types of demands that are placed upon the IT Department by the users.
§ Many of these requests are actually small changes – low risk, frequently occurring, low cost, etc.
§ Their scale and frequency, low-risk nature means that they are better handled by a separate process, rather than being allowed to congest and obstruct the normal Incident and Change Management processes.
§ Examples:§ A request to change a password,§ A request to install an additional software application onto a particular PC,§ A request to relocate some items of desktop equipment
©Karokasb www.karokasb.org
176Lesson 1.7: Problem & Workaround
Problem
§ The cause of one or more incidents.
§ The cause is not usually known at the time a Problem Record is created, and the Problem Management Process is responsible for further investigation.
§ Prioritized in the same way and for same reasons as Incidents.
Workaround
§ A temporary way to restore service failures to a usable level. For example; rebooting a server hang.
§ Used for reducing or eliminating the Impact of an Incident or Problem for which a full Resolution is not yetavailable.
§ Workarounds for Incidents that do nothave associated Problem Records aredocumented in the Incident Record.
§ Workarounds for Problems are documented in Known ErrorRecords.
©Karokasb www.karokasb.org
177
Lesson 1.8: Known Error (KE) and Known Error Database (KEDB)
Known Error (KE)
§ A Problem that has a documented Rootcause and a Workaround.• A known error might be raised for
a problem whose root cause is not yet known but a workaround has been identified.
§ Known Errors are created and managed throughout their Lifecycle by Problem Management.
§ Known Errors may also be identified by Development or Suppliers. For example; Application incompatibility reports for Windows by Microsoft
.
Known Error Database (KEDB)
§ A storage of previous knowledge ofincidents and problems• exact details of the fault and the
symptoms thatoccurred• how they were overcome
§ Allows quicker diagnosis and resolution if Incidents/Problems recur.

• Resolution of underlying cause(s)• The activities are similar to those of Incident
Management for the logging, categorization and classification for Problems. The subsequent activities are different as this is where the actual root-cause analysis is performed and the Known Errorcorrected.
• Covered in ServiceOperation
Proactive Problem Management
• Prevention of future problems by analyzing Incident Records, and using data collected by other IT Service Management processes and external sources to identify trends or significant problems.

ITIL 2011 Foundation Certification Exam Practical Tips
242•Read the question CAREFULLY
•At this level of exam the obvious answer is often the correct answer (if you have read the question carefully!)
•Beware of being misled by the preliminary text for the question
•If you think there should be another choice that would be the right answer, thenyou have to choose the “most right”
•Use strategies such as “What comes first?” or “What doesn’t belong?” to help with the more difficult questions
•Where there are questions that involve multiple statements (i.e. 1, 2, 3, 4), then try to eliminate combinations that are immediately incorrect (based on something you can remember) so that the question is broken into smaller, and more manageable pieces.
