You can choose default event type or one of the custom event types created in environment.
OPC UA Event Types
OPC UA plugins supports custom event types to be uploaded to Insights Hub. Select the correct
event type from the below drop-down menu, to get those events on Insights Hub. 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:
Data Source
Event Type
It is the default event type which can collect some static fields of events from OPC
UA server.
Custom Event
Type
These types can be created by user/owner of environment, and they can collect both
static and extra fields from OPC UA server.
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 Insights Hub.
They can be displayed on Insights Hub Monitor regarding to their types. For
more information on displaying events, refer to Introduction to Events in
documentation.
