Standard Event Providers
To help you get a Notification Services application developed and deployed quickly, Notification Services comes with three standard event providers for gathering events using either a XML file, Transact-SQL query, or MDX query.
This section provides information about the standard event providers and values for properties and arguments used when defining event providers for an application.

| Topic | Description |
|---|---|
Describes the file system watcher event provider, which is triggered when an XML file is added to a watched directory. The event provider reads the file contents into memory, and then uses an EventLoader object to write the event information to the event table. |
|
Describes the SQL Server event provider, which uses a Transact-SQL query to get data from a database. It then uses Notification Services–provided stored procedures to create events based on this new or updated data and then write these events to the event table. |
|
Describes the Analysis Services event provider, which uses a static or dynamic MDX query to gather data from an Analysis Services cube and submit the data as events to an application. |
