Rules Engine: Events

What are Events?

The Nx Witness Rules Engine (aka Event Rules) allows operators to create Rules based on Events the System generates. 

There are, generally speaking, three types of Events:

User Defined Events
User Defined Events are custom Events which must be programmed by a user before they can be utilized and include:

• Analytics Event
• HTTP Generic Event (covered in Advanced Training)
• Input Signal on Device
• Motion on Camera
• Plugin Event
• Soft Trigger

Default Events
Default Events are configurable Events which are populated in the Rules Engine when a new Nx Witness System is installed.

• Archive Backup Finished
• Device Disconnected
• Device IP Conflict
• License Issue
• Network Issue
• Server Conflict
• Server Failure
• Server Started
• Storage Issue

System Generated Events
System Generated Events are built-in Events which the System will generate a notification to operators and cannot be modified by System users.

• Archive Integrity Check Failure
• Email Address Not Set
• Email Not Set for Users
• Email Server Not Configured
• Error while Sending Email
• Licenses Not Configured
