Analytics Event Trigger via XML
Trigger Analytics Event with XML code sample
This sample demonstrates how to submit an Analytics Event to the Event Server. The Analytics Event can be seen on the event list in the Smart Client, can be used for additional Smart Client plugins for e.g. overlay display, as well as be displayed in 3rd-party applications.
Alarm Definitions can be configured to create alarms based on Analytics events and the alarms can be seen in the Smart Client.
How to configure and run the sample
- Setup an analytics event named MyAnalyticsEvent01 in your Management Client.
- Setup an alarm that is created based on the analytics event (the name configured above).
- Start the sample, click on “Insert Analytics event XML”, define the
source as a camera in the system by putting its IP address in the Name
node <Name>192.168.0.199</Name> section, hit the “Send XML”
button.
- Note: Port 9090 is disabled by default, enable in Management Client: Tools->Options->Analytics Event panel.
- Use the Smart Client Alarm Manager tab to see the Alarm in the Alarm List.
- Switch the Smart Client alarm list to show events and see the event. (You can omit step 2 and 4 if you would like to use analytics event without using alarms.)
This sample can be used for experimentation; as you can change the XML in the textbox and send again and again. The XML can be validated by use of the XSD, or submitted to the Event Server which will validate it and respond with OK or an error message.
