General

Generally speaking, you subscribe to OPC UA Events similarly to data changes, but by using monitoring parameters that contain an event filter instead of data change filter. Besides the UAMonitoringParameters.DataChangeFilter property, the UAMonitoringParameters class also has an EventFilter property (of UAEventFilter type). The developer can specify either a data change filter, or an event filter, with monitoring parameters.

As the UAMonitoringParameters are part of the information that gets passed (directly or indirectly) to any EasyUAClient.SubscribeMonitoredItem or SubscribeMultipleMonitoredItems call, the introduction of the EventFilter property and the EventNotification event (both described above) are, in fact, the only core features that already in itself allow the Alarms & Conditions support to work. Many other features simply provide better developer experience above this.

A single event

Instead of putting together the monitoring parameters with an event filter, you can subscribe to events a bit easier using the IEasyUAClient.SubscribeEvent extension method, with several overloads. Similarly to the IEasyUAClient.SubscribeDataChange extension method (for data changes), the SubscribeEvent method provides a simplified way to subscribe to events.

Differences between various OPC UA subscription methods

OPC UA has one underlying mechanism for subscriptions, and the mechanism is further differentiated by the arguments used and the types of notifications generated. The general subscription mechanism refers to "monitored items", and in the current OPC UA version, the monitored item can represent two types of subscriptions: a subscription to either data changes, or events. The distinction is made by the type of filter specified with the subscription (in its monitoring parameters): It is either a data change filter, or an event filter. Depending on which type of subscription (filter) the monitored item uses, either data change notifications, or event notifications, are generated by the subscription.

Subscription methods that have "MonitoredItem" in their name are the most general ones. They allow you to create either data change or event subscriptions, depending on the data you pass in.

Subscription methods that have "DataChange" in their name are designed to create data change subscriptions only. Because of this specialization, they can have simplified set of arguments that makes most sense with data change subscriptions. These methods, however, do not do anything new as far as OPC UA subscriptions go: They just call the SubscribeMultipleMonitoredItems method internally, creating the generalized input arguments for it as needed.

Subscription methods that have "Event" in their name are designed to create event subscriptions only. Because of this specialization, they can have simplified set of arguments that makes most sense with event subscriptions. These methods, however, also do not do anything new as far as OPC UA subscriptions go: They just call the SubscribeMultipleMonitoredItems method internally, creating the generalized input arguments for it as needed.

You can use the more specialized methods if they provide the functionality you need, and give shorter code. In some cases, the more advanced functionality might be missing from the specialized methods, and in that case you should use the generalized methods and assemble the input arguments yourself.
