EventHandler

- Phal interface function implementation

-  Provides event notifications of ONLP device changes

-  Handles only SFP present status today

-  Each data source manages one or more system hardware attributes.

-  Responsible for providing system and hardware information

-  Implements the ONLP API calls

EventHandler

- A database describing the attributes of the System/HW

-  Defines the outward facing interfaces to the Phal DB

-  A class that inspects the system, creates the Data Sources/Attributes within the Phal DB.
