2.1 Understanding Base Events

A base event is an event from Aegis or an Aegis adapter. A base event has a list of available attributes with no pre-defined values. You can associate base events with trigger expressions and named event expressions to match incoming events. When you associate a base event with a trigger expression or named event expression, you specify the values for specific attributes you want to compare to attribute values on incoming events.

Aegis provides the following base events:

Each Aegis adapter provides its own base events. For more information about the base events specific to an adapter, see the appropriate Adapter Guide. For more information about trigger expressions, see Section 3.2, Understanding Trigger Expressions.
