This page lists these types of events generated in Cisco AppDynamics:
- Event types that are common to the platform, such as UI, configuration, and licensing-related events
- Events generated by the alert and response system
- Application monitoring events
Information on event types that are specific to a platform module, if available, appears with the module-specific documentation. For example, Database Agent events are listed on Database Agent Events Reference.
Event types listed here that are not visible in the UI can be retrieved using the Cisco AppDynamics REST API.
