I’m attempting to use Component Integration to programmically create Analytics Events, Rules, and Alarm Definitions through the configuration API but I am not sure how to get the correct plugin IDs and ItemKind IDs to do this properly.
I looked into using the Configuration API but I was not able to find out how to programmatically create this configuration.
Can you give me any pointers on where I should be looking, or an example on how this can be done? Thanks!
Unfortunately this configuration work is not supported.
Historically the Management Client has been the only place to configure XProtect, with 2014 the Configuration API was introduced, it has then been enhanced with added functionality with most new releases. Unfortunately it does still not hold the capabilty to perform all possible configuration tasks. The two you mention: creation of rules and alarm definitions, is not possible in the current versions. Milestone does not have concrete plans when this will be added, for now it is on the wish-list.
Hi Bo, thank you for the information. I’ve been experimenting with this more over the past week and have tried to change the way we’re doing things to use a supported use case.
Is it possible to create User Defined Events in any way, whether through the Configuration API or some other method? Thanks!
Unfortunately you cannot create user-defined events. It is on the wish-list for future enhancements.
Thanks Bo, I understand. Is there a way to do this using the plug-in integration instead of component integration? Or any other possible way to achieve this?
No, right now I can see no way outside supplying instruction to the users on creating events using the Management Client.
Alright, thank you for your help!
