Generate alarms based on analytics events

Available functionality depends on the system you are using. See the Product comparison chart for more information.

Generating alarms based on analytics events is normally a three-step process:

Enable the analytics events feature and set up its security. A list of allowed addresses can be used to control who can send event data to the system and on which port the server listens.
Create the analytics event, possibly with a description of the event, and test it.
Use the analytics event as the source of an alarm definition.

As mentioned, a third-party VCA is most often required for supplying data to your system. Which VCA tool to use is entirely up to you, as long as the data supplied by the tool adheres to the applied formatting rules described in the Milestone Analytics Events Developers Manual.
