## Examples

Here is an example usage of `vEvents`.

First we configure our VMware vSphere host with `vConnector`, so that `vEvents` can connect to our VMware vSphere host.

For more information about `vConnector` and how to use it, please refer to the [vConnector Github repository documentation](https://github.com/dnaeon/py-vconnector).

Having our VMware vSphere host registered in the `vConnector` database we can now fire up `vEvents` and monitoring our VMware vSphere Events.
