Using the Events API, you can export events from Enterprise Workloads.

Note: Currently, the common Events API is available only for VMware workload and Alerts. This API will support all the workloads with subsequent releases.

This API capability helps organizations to:

Get the job events in a single API call
Monitor job failures and take corrective actions
Get the alert events in a single API call
Integrate the exported events with the third-party SIEM tool
