The Event Server application program interface (API) provides an interface for application programs or clients, to transmit information to Operations Sentinel about alerts, attribute changes, deleted objects, and information to be sent to the Operations Sentinel logs.

You can write your own clients, which use the API to send event reports to the API event server on the Operations Sentinel server. From there, the event reports are sent to the appropriate receiving clients. Header files and lib files are in the API subfolder in the Operations Sentinel installation folder. The API library is also installed as part of the Windows Resource Monitor.

A receiving client can be Operations Sentinel Console, which displays each alert in its Alerts window.

For more information on using API and writing clients refer to the Operations Sentinel Event Server Application Program Interface Programming Guide.
