Operational events are actionable in nature and provide administrators with the necessary details to diagnose and troubleshoot issues.

The Event Catalog provides additional guidance for administrators to troubleshoot operational events.

      Set up an Amazon EventBridge integration and receive operational events

      To receive operational events using the Amazon EventBridge integration, on the Integration tab, subscribe to v2.operations.events.{id}.

      After you receive operational events, you can access the Event Catalog in the Genesys Cloud Developer Center for recommendations on how to get started, read about additional context for events, and review associated diagnosis and troubleshooting steps.
      1. Open the Event Catalog.
      2. To open the documentation for an event, either click the event name on the left navigation pane or scroll down on the Event Catalog and click an EventID.
      3. Read through the documentation for the event, proceed through the recommended diagnosis steps, and apply the troubleshooting steps as needed.
      4. Follow the directions that indicate the best points to evaluate if the event scenario resolves and how to proceed if the scenario does not resolve.

      Some events are voluminous in nature, or a single event does not always indicate an issue. For these events, check the suggested configuration steps for alerting or thresholding available in the Event Catalog. As you review the events to subscribe to, take a moment to review their recommended configuration settings.
