All objects and activities in Nexthink are linked to one or more events. When an object or activity is no longer related to any event, it is eventually removed from the system. Events are timestamped and ordered sequentially using both the clock of the Engine and the local time reported by the Collectors. In the Finder, within the context of investigations, *events* refer only to those basic events that represent errors or warnings from devices or applications. The Device view of the Finder also displays the occurrences of these events in the **Errors** and **Warnings** timelines. *** RELATED CONCEPTS * [Object](/platform/references/references-classic/glossary-classic/object-classic.md) * [Activity](/platform/references/references-classic/glossary-classic/activity-classic.md) RELATED REFERENCES * [Errors and warnings for devices and executions](/platform/references/references-classic/search-and-information-display-classic/errors-and-warnings-for-devices-and-executions-with-finder-classic.md) * [Warnings tooltips](/platform/references/references-classic/tooltips-in-the-user-and-device-views-in-finder-classic/warnings-tooltips-in-finder-classic.md) * [Errors tooltips](/platform/references/references-classic/tooltips-in-the-user-and-device-views-in-finder-classic/errors-tooltips-in-finder-classic.md) --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## 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, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.nexthink.com/platform/references/references-classic/glossary-classic/event-classic.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
