Events & Detection
The Events system is Grillo Cloud's advanced feature for automatic earthquake detection, cataloging, and alerting.
Premium Feature
Event detection is available as an add-on to the standard Grillo Cloud subscription. Contact sales for pricing.
Overview
The Events system provides:
- Automatic detection - Earthquakes detected from your network's data
- Event catalog - Searchable database of detected events
- Real-time alerts - Immediate notification of significant events
- API access - Programmatic access to event data
How it works
Sensor Data → Detection Algorithm → Event Processing → Alerts/Catalog
- Data collection - Sensors stream data to Grillo Cloud
- Detection - Algorithms analyze data for earthquake signals
- Processing - Events are characterized (location, magnitude)
- Output - Alerts sent and events added to catalog
Key features

- Event details and parameters
- Export capabilities
- Historical records
Real-time alerts
Get notified immediately when events occur:
- Email notifications
- Webhook/API delivery
- Configurable thresholds
- Multiple delivery channels
API integration
Access event data programmatically:
