Description: Event listening in software systems refers to a fundamental component that enables the capture and processing of data in real-time. This mechanism acts as an intermediary that receives events generated by various sources, such as applications, operating systems, or IoT devices, and channels them to different destinations for storage or analysis. Event listening is essential in modern data processing architectures, where immediacy and responsiveness are crucial. As a data aggregator, systems utilizing event listening facilitate the collection of logs and metrics, allowing developers and system administrators to have a clear and real-time view of the status of their applications and services. This component is highly configurable, enabling users to define which events to listen to and how to process them, adapting to the specific needs of each environment. Additionally, event listening integrates with a wide variety of plugins, which expands its functionality and allows its use in multiple scenarios, from application monitoring to data collection for big data analysis.
