Imagine you're keeping an eye on a specific asset—like a website or network component—for any changes. An Event is what happens when there's a significant change, such as discovering a new host (which is essentially finding a new device connected to your network) or identifying a vulnerability (a weak spot in your security).

How do Events work?

When an Event occurs, it can trigger "Event Triggers" if specific conditions are met. These Event Triggers act as customized alarms that notify you about particular changes you are interested in. If an Event meets the criteria you have set, it activates the Trigger, which then sends out a notification. The information included in this notification is known as the "payload."

It is essential to recognize that Events are always associated with a specific asset, known as the "target asset."

Can Anyone Set Up an Event Trigger?

Absolutely! Every user has the power to create multiple Event Triggers. However, you can only manage Event Triggers associated with your account. This means you can set them up, tweak them, or remove them as you see fit.
