# System, Events

Read Litmus Edge's internal event log and event-manager statistics.

| Tool                     | Description                                                                                                |
| ------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `get_system_events`      | Retrieve system events filtered by time range, component, and severity (`INFO`, `WARN`, `ALERT`, `ERROR`). |
| `get_system_event_stats` | Event manager statistics: queue sizes, processing rates, memory, health indicators.                        |

## When to use which

- **Postmortem / forensic:** `get_system_events` with a time range around the incident, optionally narrowed by component and severity.
- **"Is the event pipeline healthy?":** `get_system_event_stats` for current queue depth and processing rate. Useful when triaging slow event delivery.

## Requirements

- `EDGE_URL`, `EDGE_API_CLIENT_ID`, `EDGE_API_CLIENT_SECRET`.
