In IBM® Business Monitor V8.5.7, the events can arrive from a variety of sources. An event source is the producer of an event or events that are relevant to a monitor model.

Events can be sent using the Dynamic Event Framework (new in this release) or Common Event Infrastructure (CEI).
Note: The Common Event Infrastructure is deprecated in IBM Business Monitor V8.5.7.
