# FindEvents ## Description FindEvents is a request to retrieve periodic events logging from a device. The request needs the DeviceIdentification, EventLogCategory, From and Until DateTime. The EventlogCategories consist off: * STANDARD\_EVENT\_LOG * FRAUD\_DETECTION\_LOG * COMMUNICATION\_SESSION * M\_BUS\_EVENT\_LOG * POWER\_QUALITY\_EVENT\_LOG * AUXILIARY\_EVENT\_LOG DSMR Chapter 4.2.1 and SMR5.1 chapters 4.2.1 and 4.2.2 describe the several events and their descriptions. All requests have similar response behaviour which is described in [ResponseMessages](/gxf/domains/smartmetering/responsemessages.md). [GetFindEventsResponse](/gxf/domains/smartmetering/smartmeteringws/management/getfindeventsresponse.md) returns if the result is successful from the request. The response contains the DeviceIdentification and CorrelationUid which is received from the FindEvents request. ## References XSD: [sm-management.xsd](https://github.com/OSGP/open-smart-grid-platform/blob/development/osgp/shared/osgp-ws-smartmetering/src/main/resources/schemas/sm-management.xsd) WSDL: [SmartMeteringManagement.wsdl](https://github.com/OSGP/open-smart-grid-platform/blob/development/osgp/shared/osgp-ws-smartmetering/src/main/resources/SmartMeteringManagement.wsdl) --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://grid-exchange-fabric.gitbook.io/gxf/domains/smartmetering/smartmeteringws/management/findevents.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
