# 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.
