for e in events:

    if e.eventClass == "/Perf/CPU":

        dmd.Events.manage_ackEvents(e.evid)

e.eventClass: the event classs, such as "/Perf/CPU", "/Status/Ping"

                    Code Example:  if e.eventClass == "/Perf/CPU":

e.eventState: the event state in number, 0 is active non acknoledged; 1 is acknoledged.

                    Code Example: if e.eventState == 1:

e.summary: the description about the events, such as “disk space usage 100%". It is a string type of variable, so you can  apply all the string operation on it. str.split, str.replace.

e.device: the device name associate with this event.

             Code Example: if e.device == "wwwsrv1":

e.evid: the event evid, whichi s a uniq identifier for a event. Many event operations require the evid as the parameter.
