The server-side events (SSE) feature allows you to add events on the server instead of loading the events on the unit via config. Please note that the purpose of SSE is not to replace the original events that are loaded on the unit but as added functionality to enable users (with the relevant permissions) to easily add events in the UI. Organizations must be migrated to Lightning in order for this functionality to work.

How does it work?

Each position received by the server is processed through a Server-Side Event Engine. Where a particular server-side event rule is found to be true, e.g. asset is in a location, a server-side event is raised.

A new event type “Server-Side” has been created to allow these events to be distinguished in the system.

These server-side events behave just like a normal event in MiX Fleet Manager and can be seen actively in the Info Hub, Live Tracking and in Notifications (email/SMS), or retrospectively in Historical Tracking, MiX Insight Reports and MiX Insight Agility. Certain unit type dependencies exist. Read here for more information.

Notifications can also be created from server-side events, except for “Distance in location” and “Location entry and exit” with FM units. MiX 2000, MiX 4000 and MiX 6000 units can handle notifications for these two events.

Users will only be able to create, edit and remove server-side events at organisation level. See below for more information on server-side events and download the PDF at the bottom of this page if you want to know how it works.
