System Events

System events are events that are dispatched by the backend for communication between the many components of Viseron, such as when a camera detects motion or an object is detected.

These events can be used to trigger actions in other components, such as the webhook component.

System event viewer

The system event viewer allows you to listen to and view system events in real-time, along with the event data. Seeing the event data can be useful for when you want to use the event data in a template.

The event viewer can be accessed by admins from the Settings > System Events page in the Viseron web interface.

info

The event data is normally in JSON format, but the event viewer will format it to YAML for easier readability.
