event

The event represents a change in the environment in the Samsung Cloud Platform service.

Most events generated in Samsung Cloud Platform services are received by ServiceWatch. Events of each service can be viewed and processed in the ServiceWatch of the same Account.

Refer to the list of services that send events via ServiceWatch and the events those services send in the ServiceWatch Event Reference.

Each service sends events to ServiceWatch based on Best Effort delivery. Best Effort delivery means that the service attempts to send all events to ServiceWatch, but occasionally some events may not be delivered.

When a valid event is delivered to ServiceWatch, ServiceWatch compares the event with the rules and then sends a notification to the alert recipients set in the event rule.

Event Rules

You can specify the actions that ServiceWatch performs on events delivered from each service to ServiceWatch. To do this, create an event rule. An event rule specifies which events are delivered to which targets.

Event rules evaluate the event when it arrives. Each event rule checks whether the event matches the rule’s pattern. If the event matches, ServiceWatch processes the event.

You can generate matching rules for incoming events based on the event data criteria (called an event pattern). If an event matches the criteria defined in the event pattern, the event is delivered to the target specified in the rule.

• Event rules basically allow you to specify a notification recipient to receive alerts when an event occurs.
• The event rules are planned to be expanded to include multiple services of the Samsung Cloud Platform as targets for receiving events when events occur. (Planned for 2026)

To create an event rule, please refer to How-to Guides > Creating Event Rules.

Event Source

ServiceWatch can select the event source as the Samsung Cloud Platform service name. You can select the service name of the event you want to receive as the event source.

Event Type

The Samsung Cloud Platform service has its own resource type. Event types are classified the same as resource types, and you select the type of events from the event source to use in event rules.

The following are the event types of Virtual Server.

For other event types available in ServiceWatch, please refer to ServiceWatch Event.

Event

The event can select all events that occur from the event type of the event source, and can select specific events.

The following are some events of the Server event type of Virtual Server.

For other events available in ServiceWatch, see ServiceWatch Event.

Applied Resources

Set the event pattern for selected events on all resources or specific resources.

Event Pattern

If you select all event sources, event types, events, and applied resources, the event pattern setting for the event rule will be completed.

The following is an example of an event pattern set in ServiceWatch’s event rule.

{
	"source": [ // namespace
		"Virtual Server"
	],
	"detail-type": [ // event type
		"Server"
	],
	"detail": {
		"event": [ // individual event
			"Compute Virtual Server Create End"
		]
	},
	"resources": [ // individual resources
		"srn:{offerring}::{account_id}:{region}::virtualserver:server/{resource_id}"
	]
}

{
	"source": [ // namespace
		"Virtual Server"
	],
	"detail-type": [ // event type
		"Server"
	],
	"detail": {
		"event": [ // individual event
			"Compute Virtual Server Create End"
		]
	},
	"resources": [ // individual resources
		"srn:{offerring}::{account_id}:{region}::virtualserver:server/{resource_id}"
	]
}

To create an event rule, please refer to How-to Guides > Creating Event Rules.

Event Notification

If the event pattern is satisfied, an alert is sent to the notification recipient set in the event rule.
