Triggering alarms from a local machine

Hi All,

I need to trigger an alarm in milestone sys when a specific event occurs in the 3rd party system that I am developing. I noticed that there are two ways to trigger alarms, either using the MIP SDK library or by sending an XML file to the event server over HTTP.

In my case it doesn’t seem I can use the MIP SDK, as our system will be running on a separate local machine, but sending an XML file to the event server seems like a plausible solution. If I understand the documentation, the request must be sent to port 9090, at least that is what the demo XML solution uses as a default port, although in my case the 9090 is not open.

Would anyone know if sending the XML file over HTTP is the preferred way to trigger an alarm in milestone, and if so, how can I configure the event server to listen to port 9090?

Thanks,

Thank you for your response, I have been going through the documentation and sample solutions, and everything makes sense but the SOAP port (9090) to send the XML document containing the analytics event data is not open. I am on the corporate version of Milestone. Is this something that I need to configure when installing milestone or later? And does the Event Proxy service have anything to do with getting port 9090 open?

Thanks

I am wondering if you are missing settings on Management Client, start Management Client – tools – Options – Analytics Event tab.
