In WebSphere Integration Developer, the event monitor, event definition generator, and event definition editor are the three tools that are solely designated for working with common base events and event definitions.
Using the event monitor, you can enable the generation and monitoring of Common Base Event events and have them managed by the services of the Common Event Infrastructure (CEI). You can also enable the generation and monitoring of business process and human task audit events and have them logged in the process choreographer database of WebSphere Process Server.
Using the event definition generator, you can generate event definitions to define the structure of your emitted events. However, you must have the WebSphere Business Monitor Development Toolkit installed to work with the event definitions. The toolkit enables you to generate a monitor model for your event definitions and then add business metrics to the event definitions in the monitor model editor. You can then deploy the monitor model to a WebSphere Business Monitor server and monitor the events with the WebSphere Business Monitor Web dashboard.
Using the event definition editor, you can create custom event definitions to define the structure of your emitted events. However, you must have the WebSphere Business Monitor Development Toolkit installed to work with the event definitions. The toolkit enables you to import your event definitions into a monitor model in the monitor model editor and then add business metrics to the event definitions. You can then deploy the monitor model to a WebSphere Business Monitor server and monitor the emitted events with the WebSphere Business Monitor Web dashboard.
