There are 8 categories of events :
- Alarm
- Geofence
- Ignition
- Maintenance
- Motion
- Overspeed
- Status
- Text Message
Alarm
This type of event generated when new position contain alarm attribute. There are a lot of alarm types depending on what your device supports.
Geofence
The Tracking platform can generate events when devices enters or exits a geofence.
Ignition
Some devices can report ignition status. The Tracking platform generates Ignition ON Event or ignition off this can be linked to alerts.
Maintenance
To help control maintenance intervals of devices. There are two attributes to configure: maintenance.start and maintenance.interval. They can be set in device or group attributes. It can generate events every time totalDistance attribute gets over maintenance.start + maintenance.interval * N value where N is a natural number.
Example:
maintenance.start=6000000, maintenance.interval=8000000
Events will be generated when totalDistance goes over 6000 km, 14000 km, 22000 km and so on.
Motion
The tracking platform can generate this event if device started or stopped moving. Server analyzes speed from incoming position and if speed is more than event.motion.speedThreshold configuration parameter (default is 0.01 knots) then considered that device is moving, and if speed is less then that device has stopped.
Overspeed
The platform can generate this event if device exceeds the configured speed limit. Speed limit value can be set in device or group attribute speedLimit.
Additional event.overspeed.notRepeat configuration parameter specifies repeating behavior. If true, event will be generated once at the beginning of the overspeeding period, if false then events will be generated on every received position.
Status
Server can generate this event type when device status changes (online/offline/unknown). Online means that device is connected to the server and sending reports. Offline means that device is not connected to the server. Unknown means that connection status is unknown and there were no reports from device for specified period of time (10 minutes by default).
Text Message
This event is generated when SMS message received from device.
