The Event Server is an Operations Sentinel service that runs on each Operations Sentinel server, receives event reports, and distributes them to clients that have registered for this type of event. It provides a set of application programming interfaces (the Event Server API) for clients.

This guide explains how to program and administer clients for the Operations Sentinel Event Server API.

The Event Server API of Operations Sentinel is supported on U 6000, AIX, UnixWare, Linux, Windows 11, Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2022, Windows Server 2019, Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2012, and Windows Server 2012 R2.

Operations Sentinel provides a set of tools you can use to build client programs. These client programs (or clients) can access information from or provide information to Operations Sentinel servers. You use the Event Server API functions described in this document to build client programs.
