OPC UA Event Types
OPC UA plugins supports custom event types to be uploaded to Industrial IoT. Select the correct
event type from the below drop-down menu, to get those events on Industrial IoT. In the
dropdown menu, the events owned by the specific environment and the default event type
"DataSourceEvent" is shown only.
The event types are summarized as below:

Type
A new event type must be created from "AgentBaseEvent" type with required extra fields and
then, it can be selected from the event drop-down list which is shown during OPC UA server
configuration.
If there is no created custom event type in environment, "Data Source Event
Type" will be selected by default.
Both, data source events and custom events will be uploaded to Industrial IoT.
They can be displayed on Insights Hub Monitor regarding to their types. For
more information on displaying events, refer to
Insights Hub Monitor documentation.
