I have a question about posting /api/createEvent for generic events. When I post a generic event, how do I get it to show up in the "Events" tab for a camera? I'm only seeing it in the "Notifications" tab.

My message looks like this: 

{
    "caption": "line-crossed",
    "description": "Break Room",
    "metadata": {
        "cameraRefs": [
            "6fb92eba-77a6-8923-7577-aaaaaaaaaa"
        ]
    },
    "source": "Camera 2"
}

  Hello,

  As the User manual states, "Events" tab is to display messages from Event log.

  It seems, the Generic Event messages are not recorded to the Event log, thus are not displayed.

  Could you tell a bit more about your objective, project? What are business requirements for displaying in Events tab as well as in Notification tab?

  Thanks for the reply. A few thoughts around this topic.

  It would make sense to me that items posted to the Event API would show up in the Event tab or at least have the option to show up there. The interface seems to be built around it working this way. In the Event tab you can search for generic events. The search capabilities are not present in the notification tab. 

  The business need is around the idea of bringing outside events into the Meta Events and making them searchable and actionable by the user. 

  Here are a few scenarios of events that we are trying to integrate...

  • IoT sensors triggering to events...motion sensors, contact sensors, noise sensors, water leak, air quality sensors
  • Analytic Microphones like the Louro LE-875
  • Camera VCA rules that don't support Onvif Profile M. We built a small connector for email from the cameras to Meta API.
