Chapter 2. Events
Events are triggers that cause a condition to be tested. CloudForms Management Engine Control provides several Events, that can be divided into functional types. Events cannot be modified.
Table 2.1. Event Types
| Category | Description |
|---|---|
| Datastore Operation | Events related to datastore analysis. |
| Authentication Validation | Events related to credential validation for hosts and providers. |
| Company Tag | Events related to assigning and removing company tags from an infrastructure object. |
| Compliance | Events related to checking compliance policies. |
| Host Operation | Events related to the connection state of a host and status of a SmartState Analysis on a host. |
| VM Configuration | Events associated with a change in configuration of a virtual machine. These include, but are not limited to, clone, create, template create, and settings change. |
| VM Lifecycle | Events such as virtual machine discovery, provisioning, and virtual machine retirement. |
| VM Operation | Events associated with power states or locations of virtual machines and virtual desktop machines. These include, but are not limited to, power off, power on, reset, resume, shutdown, and suspend. |
| Service Lifecycle | Events associated with service lifecycle. These include, but are not limited to, provisioning completed, start request, started, stop request, stopped, retirement warning, and retired. |
Each type has a set of events that you can select to trigger the checking of a condition.
