Create a detection event that defines what to look for in real-time streams. Events are reusable templates that can be attached to stream indexes as alerts.
  • event_prompt describes the condition to detect in natural language
  • label is a short identifier for the event type
  • Events are reusable across multiple stream indexes and alerts
