Event Monitor

events

The Event Monitor provides a live, real-time view of all events flowing through SkyrimNet. It acts as an inspection and debugging tool, allowing you to observe event traffic, examine event payloads, and rapidly build AI triggers based on real in-game activity.

Core Capabilities​

  • Live Event Stream
    Displays events as they occur in-game, updated in real time with configurable refresh rates.

  • Event Statistics Dashboard
    High-level metrics including:

    • Events per second
    • Currently displayed events
    • Total events observed
    • Filtered events
    • Persisted and short-lived event counts

  • Powerful Filtering

    • Filter by event type (e.g. animation_event, mod_event, active_effect, activation, equip, etc.)
    • Toggle visibility for filtered events
    • Limit the number of displayed events
    • View event type distribution at a glance

  • Event Feed Inspection

    • Each event entry shows its type, name, timestamp, and status
    • Events can be expanded to inspect their full payload / JSON data
    • Payload fields can be referenced in triggers using event_json.*

  • Trigger Creation

    • Any observed event can be used as the basis for creating an AI trigger directly from the event feed
    • Trigger parameters are auto-suggested from the event payload to accelerate setup

Current Limitations​

  • Imperfect Parameter Suggestions
    Auto-generated trigger parameters may be inaccurate for some event types and require manual adjustment. Event data should be accessed using event_json.<field> paths.

  • Limited Event Retention
    Only a limited number of recent events are kept in memory. Older events will disappear if not inspected or used promptly.

Primary Use Cases​

  • Debugging SkyrimNet integrations and in-game systems
  • Discovering new or undocumented event payload structures
  • Designing and validating AI Triggers based on real gameplay data
  • Monitoring performance and event throughput in real time
