Recording External Events

External applications can record events in ICPAM using the recordExtEvent API. After being recorded, those events are displayed in the Events & Alarms Monitoring modules. External Event Types are defined using the Event Definition Format, and imported using the steps described in the following section.

To record events from external applications, do the following:

  1. Define External Event Types Using the Event Definition Format. This file also defines the categories for the log codes.

  1. Create a Text File to Define the Event Names in ICPAM.

  2. Import the Files into ICPAM.

  3. Add external events and alarms to ICPAM using the recordExtEvent API, as described in the Identiv Physical Access Control API Reference Guide.
