Event Web Service reference

An interface is provided for integrators to integrate events into other applications, enabling them to programmatically automate operator functions and detect event changes. Most operations that an operator can do in the console while working on events can be done programmatically, to improve efficiency, and enable integration with external applications.

The interface used for integrating events into other applications, and automating operator functions, is the Event Web Service. This is a REST-based web service supporting the event model, that also provides subscription support through Atom feed functionality. You can read an Atom feed in your browser, where you can see a list of events, and you can also create and update events using the Atom service.

For convenience, the link to the URL for launching the Event Browser (for drilling down into the OMi user interface from an external application) is included in the event web service data. For details of how to specify and launch the drill-down URL, see Specify a URL launch.
