Write a Lua Script to Handle Events

The Lua event handler runs a Lua script to handle events. The Lua script must contain a function named handler with the arguments request and xml, as shown below:

function handler(request, xml)
	...
end
  • request is a table holding the request parameters. For example, if the request was action=Example&MyParam=Value, the table will contain a key MyParam with the value Value. Some events, for example queue size events, are not related to a specific action and so the table might be empty.
  • xml is a string of XML that contains information about the event.
