What Is an Event?

An event is a state change or other occurrence in a running application that may warrant special attention from an operator, an administrator, or the software. In the EventBroker, events are assigned one of three severity levels:

Error—for example, a server has died or a network connection has been dropped
Informational—for example, a state change has occurred as a result of a process or the detection of a configuration change
Warning—for example, a client has not been allowed to join the application after failing authentication
