The IAFStatusManager.mon file defines the event interface between it and a consumer of an adapter’s status information, which is usually an adapter’s service monitor. The application interface can be used to communicate status information to both the adapter's service monitors as well as Apama applications. The application interface events are either input events or output events. Input events are sent from a consumer of adapter status information to the IAFStatusManager. Output events are sent from the IAFStatusManager to a consumer of adapter status information.
