Horizon Events
VMware Horizon produces events generated in response to actions and/or operations within a Horizon deployment. These events are immutable facts documenting the entity state changes such as who initiated the change, what action was performed, which object was modified, and when was the change initiated.
Events naturally serve as auditing and troubleshooting tools, allowing an administrator to retrieve details on a specific change and react to it with event-driven automation. The VMware Event Broker Appliance unlocks this functionality for operation teams, such as VI Administrators, by writing lean code (“functions”) that is triggered by VMware Horizon events.
Overview of the Horizon events
The VMware Event Broker Appliance takes advantage of a new Audit Events API that was recently introduced with VMware Horizon (2106). There are over 850+ events that are available and for a complete list, please take a look here.
