What is an Event

PreviousNavigating your profileNextWhat is an Event Type

Last updated 1 year ago

Events are real-time data points captured as a result of asset or vehicle usage. Their primary purpose is to notify the business of situations necessitating either logging for auditing purposes or triggering alerts for compliance and maintenance needs. All published events are associated with a parent template class, which includes relevant metadata fields for streamlined event reporting.

Examples of asset-related events include:

  • On and off triggers

  • Threshold triggers (e.g., RPM, speed)

  • Usage amounts (in minutes or distance)

  • Alarms

It's important to note:

  • All events are asset-driven and can not be created manually via the platform console

  • All events are linked to a parent event-type template that contains relevant metadata fields for comprehensive asset, business unit or organization reporting.
