Event-Center

Overview

The Event Center provides a centralized and chronological view of all cloud events, including Mutations and ClickOps. By consolidating scattered event data into a unified interface, the Event Center enhances investigation workflows, enables efficient issue tracking, and improves visibility into changes across cloud environments.

Key Benefits

• Enhanced User Experience: Users can easily access a chronological list of cloud events for efficient tracking and issue resolution.

• Improved Troubleshooting: Helps trace the chain of events that led to cloud mutations, drifts, or unmanaged assets due to ClickOps.

Event Types

The Event Center currently supports the following event types:

1. ClickOps: Identifies manual changes made directly in cloud consoles, not managed by Infrastructure as Code (IaC).

2. Mutations: Tracks configuration changes to cloud assets.
