LUSID and other applications in the LUSID ecosystem, such as Drive, Scheduler and Luminesce, emit system events. Each system event has a set of attributes that describe that event. See the list of events and their attributes.
You can create as many subscriptions as you like to a particular system event. You can subscribe every time the event occurs, or filter on event attributes to subscribe only in a particular set of circumstances.
