What is the right way to setup event declaration and send the event?

[BetterZhouXu]

I am trying to combine the examples object-detection-yolov5 and send-event. I want to send the event after something is detected. But when I try to use get_eventlist.py to retrieve event declaration info and event list. I can only get event declaration info with getlist param, I cannot get event list with getsent param. And I can see the log such as "✅ Successfully sent event:". But I cannot find the event. What whould be the problem? I also attached the related functions and logs. Thanks.

get_eventlist.py is to retrieve declared events. So your event should be there when you have got no error during declaration.
To see if your events triggerd use axis metadata Monitor, or create a event rule where your event is the trigger.

I never see emojis in sys log lol 😂 did you vibe code that part ?

Hi Cacsjep, thanks for your reply. But here it said we can find sent events using get_eventlist.py: https://github.com/AxisCommunications/acap-native-sdk-examples/blob/main/axevent/README.md#find-sent-events-using-wrapper
Could you please provide more detailed instructions on how I can view the events that have been triggered? Thank you! Currently I can only follow the examples mentioned above.
Yeah, I used ChatGPT to add those log info LOL

./get_eventlist.py getsent -h <- sorry I didn't get that you use this.
I always use Axis metadata Monitor just Google and Download:)

Hi, thanks for sharing the Axis metadata monitor. I cannot find the events triggerd with Axis metadata monitor. Do you know why?

[Cacsjep]

No because I don't see all your code may you have no g_main loop, double check the example code because the examples all works :)

Hi @BetterZhouXu ,
I hope this link will be useful. I have used ChatGPT for it 😉

Hi @BetterZhouXu,

Could you try using the function ax_event_handler_declare2() when declaring the event?
For details, see the API Documentation
