Create custom event definitions

Using the event definition editor, you can create custom event definitions to define the structure of your emitted events. However, you must have the IBM Business Monitor development toolkit installed to work with the event definitions. The toolkit enables you to import your event definitions into a monitor model in the monitor model editor and then add business metrics to the event definitions. You can then deploy the monitor model to an IBM Business Monitor server and monitor the emitted events with the IBM Business Monitor dashboard.

The following topics describe the key concepts associated with custom event definitions and explain how to use the event definition editor to work with event definitions.
