Event Functional Component
Purpose
The Event functional component manages Events through the Event lifecycle for Events that occur on any digital service. The Event lifecycle includes but is not limited to detecting, categorizing, filtering, analyzing, correlating, logging, prioritizing, and closing Events. During the Event lifecycle, some categories of Events can serve as initiators of alerts and/or Incidents, and for diagnostics and remediation activities.
